00:00.463 --> 00:03.380
(soft piano music)

00:07.207 --> 00:08.674
- The interesting part about these sports

00:08.674 --> 00:10.932
is that the same kinds of injuries you'd see

00:10.932 --> 00:14.599
in, you know, regular NBA basketball players

00:15.015 --> 00:16.569
^is essentially, I mean you see the same

00:16.569 --> 00:17.540
^kind of injuries.

00:17.540 --> 00:19.709
^But then they have also their special injuries,

00:19.709 --> 00:20.976
^you get blistering on the hands

00:20.976 --> 00:23.573
from moving the wheelchairs like the way they do.

00:23.573 --> 00:27.189
It's a very aggressive and violent game, it can be.

00:27.189 --> 00:29.439
(clapping)

00:29.847 --> 00:31.358
- I've had a lot of support with the

00:31.358 --> 00:33.010
^Wounded Warrior Battalion,

00:33.010 --> 00:36.010
^they give you any resource you need,

00:36.847 --> 00:39.872
any sort of help, anything you could think of.

00:39.872 --> 00:42.230
They've got resources, they got ways to find it,

00:42.230 --> 00:45.515
so they've been a lot of help in my recovery.

00:45.515 --> 00:47.724
Given me the opportunity to recover and

00:47.724 --> 00:49.891
be where I'm at right now.

00:51.304 --> 00:54.137
- You know marines in general are,

00:54.167 --> 00:56.329
world class athletes to begin with,

00:56.329 --> 00:58.472
and then, you know, just because they're injured

00:58.472 --> 01:00.952
or ill, it doesn't change that,

01:00.952 --> 01:02.703
they're still world class athletes and

01:02.703 --> 01:04.603
getting to work with these guys and

01:04.603 --> 01:08.296
see them adapt and overcome from the injuries they've

01:08.296 --> 01:11.213
sustained, that's pretty inspiring.

01:11.368 --> 01:12.877
- [All] One, two, three, break!

01:12.877 --> 01:14.741
