Why: “Recovery Through Sport” is an ideal outlet for injured service members to hone both physical agility and mental focus, skills that are critical to navigating their recovery. Paratriathlon is also currently the fastest-growing disabled sport and offers unique benefits to recovering service members: “The sport of triathlon helps a disabled service member achieve something that very few, if any, other sports can do,” says TSF Sports Manager. “It allows them to understand that they don’t have to be single-sport athletes, encourages pride, mental focus, and goal setting. The ability to “conquer” one task — let alone three different ones in a single day — is a good ego boost and helps tremendously with overall mental and physical health.”
