Presenter Rachel Stringer on 'Enjoying the Scenic Route'

The Book Of Firsts - A podcast by Emma Tindall - Thursdays

This week I chatted to the glorious Sports Presenter and Podcast Host Rachel Stringer. Growing up, Rachel had big dreams of pursuing a career as an 800m runner, having competed for team GB throughout her teenage years. However, her twenties decade didn't quite pan out the way she had envisioned; after several set backs, Rachel veered away from her professional running dream and landed in the busy world of TV, where she was given the opportunity to train as a sports presenter. Diving head first into the unknown, Rachel accepted the opportunity and spent the latter part of her twenties building a name for herself, travelling around the world from Tobago to Japan, South America to China, and reporting at huge sporting events such as the championship and FA cup finals and Wimbledon. Rachel’s twenties journey just goes to show that goals and plans can change and that when they do,  it is something to be celebrated. Good opportunities can come out of bad situations, and often in a way we’d never expect....‘Rules are made to be broken. Plans are made to be changed.’ Hosted on Acast.
