For Sgt. Stewart, adaptive reconditioning activities like sports are life changing. “It gives me something positive to focus on, and teaches me things I can do, instead of all the things I can’t,” she said. Sgt. Stewart discovered the power of sports as she recovered at the Warrior Transition Battalion (WTB), Kansas. While participating in athletic activities at the WTB proved beneficial to her recovery, Sgt. Stewart also demonstrated natural talent. After proving her abilities at the 2014 U.S. Army Warrior Trials in June, she moves on to compete in Swimming, Cycling, Rowing and Wheelchair Rugby in this year’s Invictus Games.“It is a great honor to represent the country I love so much,” said Sgt. Stewart. “It was a childhood dream of mine to go to the Olympics. Now being able to participate for the honor of my country is a dream come true. “
