The athletes competing for Team USA in the recent Invictus Games have been training for years and have competed in several national events already. So how does an adaptive sport veteran athlete begin their journey to the Invictus Games? Start training with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). To begin training, Veterans need to speak with recreational therapists at their local VA medical facilities. The adaptive and recreational therapists will help Veterans to develop a training plan and will provide the adaptive equipment required. VA hosts several adaptive sport events around the nation every year. For more information, visit the VA Adaptive Sports Program webpage. For more on adaptive sports, see this Military.com section.
