Beyond The Routine: Chow II | Rachel Gowey (Episode 2)

Dec 16, 2014

"Strength does not come from winning; your struggles develop your strength. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." These are the words that hang over the bed of Senior national team member and experienced leader of Chow's Gymnastics, Rachel Gowey. After suffering a devastating ankle injury just days before the 2014 P&G Championships, the quote serves as a daily inspiration for Gowey on her road to recovery. In the second episode of Beyond the Routine: Chow II, viewers get insight on the mentally tough Gowey and what keeps her motivated as she makes her comeback - to prove to herself that she's capable of being at the top.
