The Racket House of Kelowna
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We sit down with Val and Rachel, the couple behind The Racket House.
Val shares his story of leaving the former Soviet Union as a child, living in Israel, and eventually landing in Canada. Rachel shares what it was like growing up homeschooled while training as a competitive figure skater, spending long days on the ice and chasing a very high level of sport.
Together, they talk about childhood, immigration, athletics, reinvention, and the path that led them to Kelowna and to building something new.
A thoughtful conversation about resilience, partnership, movement, and starting again.
