Master Sgt. Daniel Hendrix’s life changed in 2012 when he was injured in a skydiving accident. After a year of medical treatment, doctors were forced to amputate his leg. During his recovery in Texas, Hendrix was introduced to Wheelchair Basketball. “Adaptive sports have given me a level playing field after a life-changing injury,” said Hendrix. “This is my opportunity to compete at a high level once again.”Now Hendrix is a member of the Denver Rolling Nuggets, a Colorado-based Wheelchair Basketball team. “Through the Adaptive Reconditioning Program, I have the ability to still compete even though I am injured.” Hendrix’s long-term goal is to invest more of himself in the Adaptive Reconditioning Program. “I find the more I invest in sports the better I feel, physically and mentally.” He will be competing in the Wheelchair Basketball, Sitting Volleyball, Swimming and Athletics.
