Chloe Timberg College Track and Field Pole Vaulter

Welcome to the RU Strong Podcast, where we celebrate resilience, determination, and the incredible journeys of individuals who overcome life’s toughest challenges to emerge stronger. I’m your host, Jeff Durr, and today, we’re honored to have a truly inspiring guest, Chloe Timberg.

Chloe is a pole vaulter with Olympic aspirations, but her story goes far beyond her incredible athletic achievements. She’s someone who has faced immense personal and mental challenges, from battling anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder to finding the strength to turn her struggles into opportunities for growth. Through her journey, Chloe has discovered the power of self-worth, patience, and leaning on those you trust.

With the unwavering support of her coaches and family, Chloe learned to slow down, evaluate her strengths, and find balance in her life. Pole vaulting and weightlifting became her lifelines, helping her rebuild her confidence and reminding her that there’s no such thing as overnight success, it’s all about discipline, persistence, and focusing on what’s going well.

In this episode, we’ll explore how Chloe responds to failure, maintains her competitive edge, and finds joy in helping others while preparing for the ultimate goal: the Olympics. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance, the importance of finding your own path, and the belief that there’s always a place and program for you to thrive.

So, join us for an unforgettable conversation as we dive into the heart of Chloe’s journey and uncover what it truly means to be RU Strong!
