Description
When life throws you a curveball, do you dodge or catch it and throw it back? Coach Chris Rowe caught his curveball and turned it into a cannonball dive back into the pool of competitive swimming. From swimming for Auburn to the cusp of Olympic glory, through a life in accounting, and navigating the challenging waters of a heart transplant, Chris's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Now, he's on Champions Mojo, pouring out pearls of wisdom on coaching, the transformative power of sports, and how a heart filled with passion can overcome the most daunting odds.  Join us as we explore the deep end with Chris, where champions are not made by their victories, but by their refusal to accept defeat. This episode isn't just about swimming; it's a masterclass in life. Learn how the support of a team can push an individual to greatness, and how a community finds joy in the ripples of their shared experiences. The Hampton Aquaplex isn't just a building; it's a beacon for swimmers like Chris, who, with a new heart, has found a renewed purpose in nurturing the next wave of athletes. Tune in and be inspired by a story that proves it’s not just about the race, but the swimmer's journey, the coach’s guidance, and the splash they make together.
