As a right-leg below-the-knee amputee, Sgt. McIntosh trains in Swimming, Athletics, Sitting Volleyball and Wheelchair Basketball. McIntosh was injured in December 2010, after stepping on a pressure-plate landmine while performing a routine mission in Afghanistan. Back on active duty, McIntosh is committed to his fellow Soldiers as an adaptive-sports non-commissioned officer at the Warrior Transition Battalion, Texas, helping them rehabilitate through adaptive activities and sports. “I’m helping other Soldiers with their physical therapy by finding sports for them to get back into,” he said. “Without adaptive sports, I would not be where I am today. Through sports, I realized that I am the same person as I was before.”
