ONE SHIRT. ONE HAT. ONE PURPOSE.
Adaptive sports and other reconditioning activities help Veterans come to terms with injuries or illness by inspiring them to realize what is still achievable by focusing on ability.
Participation in adaptive sports promotes holistic growth and achievement by addressing several factors, including:
- Being part of a team helps to promotes a sense of belonging and peer support, of knowing you’re not alone in your struggle.
- The opportunity to renew the power of service to countryand strong desire to pursue a higher purpose that have always inspired service members in combat and life.
- Competition rekindles the sense of passion and determination of the warrior spiritthat is part of a service member’s DNA, the courage to move forward despite barriers and obstacles.
- The chance to be celebrated and recognized, supported by family, friends and supporters, boosts self-worth and self-efficacy.
Adaptive sports engages veterans mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically and socially. It helps them find hope and strength through their common experiences.
Unfortunately, one of the barriers to getting involved in an adaptive sport or physical fitness program is lack of finances.
