230530-N-MR124-1002 SAN DIEGO (May 30, 2023) Hospital Corpsman First Class Kalyn Bedel, from Colton, Oregon, interviews for her DoD Warrior Games athlete profile at Balboa Hospital Gym, May 30, 2023. The DoD Warrior Games Challenge is composed of over 200 wounded, ill, and injured service member and veteran athletes competing in 11 adaptive sporting events June 2 - 12, 2023, at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, Calif. (U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist Second Class Elisha Smith)
Team Navy is part of Navy Wounded Warrior's adaptive athletics program, which is open to service members in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard with serious, non-combat or combat-related injuries and physical or psychological illnesses. Recovering Service Members rebuild their strength and endurance, while also drawing inspiration from their teammates. Sports also help build self-esteem, lower stress levels and invite service members to rejoin a team environment. All enrollees in Navy Wounded Warrior are encouraged to include adaptive athletics in their recovery plans. Participation is voluntary and requires Sailors and Coast Guardsmen to self-refer or be referred by their commands, chaplains, medical team, peers or others for enrollment determination.
