Gavin Schmitt a cess\u00e9 de pratiquer tout sport en 11e<\/sup> ann\u00e9e. Il s\u2019est mis \u00e0 travailler au Fuddruckers, un restaurant de hamburger du coin, o\u00f9 l\u2019entra\u00eeneur provincial de volleyball a remarqu\u00e9 sa grandeur et lui a demand\u00e9 si le volleyball l\u2019int\u00e9ressait. Gavin n\u2019avait aucun int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0, mais l\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, encourag\u00e9 par sa m\u00e8re, il a choisi de s\u2019inscrire au volleyball. En 12e<\/sup> ann\u00e9e, lors d\u2019un tournoi auquel participait son \u00e9quipe du secondaire, ce m\u00eame entra\u00eeneur l\u2019a de nouveau remarqu\u00e9 et lui a indiqu\u00e9 son int\u00e9r\u00eat de faire de lui un vrai joueur.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 peine trois ans plus tard, du haut de ses 2,08\u00a0m, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale. En 2014, Gavin a \u00e9t\u00e9 le meilleur marqueur canadien lors de six des sept matchs du Championnat du monde de la FIVB o\u00f9 le Canada a termin\u00e9 7e<\/sup>, soit le meilleur r\u00e9sultat du pays \u00e0 ce jour. Il a aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 le meilleur marqueur des Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de 2015 \u00e0 Toronto. Il y a marqu\u00e9 25 points lors de la d\u00e9faite du Canada face \u00e0 l\u2019Argentine, mais autant lors de la victoire contre Porto Rico qui a valu la m\u00e9daille de bronze aux Canadiens. C\u2019est \u00e0 cette comp\u00e9tition que les fractures de stress de Gavin sont r\u00e9apparues.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9\u00a02013, il avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 subi une douzaine de fractures de ce genre \u00e0 son tibia gauche qu\u2019il a r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 gu\u00e9rir gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l\u2019insertion chirurgicale d\u2019une tige et de deux vis. Deux ans plus tard, il a souffert d\u2019une l\u00e9g\u00e8re fracture \u00e0 son tibia droit. Il a tent\u00e9 de contr\u00f4ler la blessure du mieux qu\u2019il le pouvait, mais en janvier\u00a02016, une op\u00e9ration similaire \u00e0 celle effectu\u00e9e sur son tibia gauche a d\u00fb \u00eatre pratiqu\u00e9e. \u00c0 son retour au jeu, il a aid\u00e9 le Canada \u00e0 se qualifier pour Rio et \u00e0 remporter les honneurs du groupe\u00a02 de la Ligue mondiale de la FIVB, ce qui permet \u00e0 la formation canadienne d\u2019acc\u00e9der au prestigieux groupe\u00a01 en 2017. Gavin a aussi jou\u00e9 chez les professionnels en Gr\u00e8ce, en France, en Turquie, en Russie et en Cor\u00e9e du Sud, o\u00f9 il a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 \u00e9toile de la ligue de 2009 \u00e0 2012 alors qu\u2019il \u00e9voluait pour les Daejeon Samsung Bluefangs.<\/p>\n
