O Brasil espera ter uma participação histórica nos Invictus Games, evento internacional para militares com deficiência criado pelo príncipe Harry em 2014, que acontece a cada dois anos. A atual edição, em Vancouver, inclui disputas em 11 modalidades, das quais seis são de inverno – biatlo, curling em cadeira de rodas, esqui alpino, esqui nórdico, skeleton e snowboarding – e cinco de verão – basquete em cadeira de rodas, natação, remo indoor, rúgbi em cadeira de rodas e vôlei sentado. Luciana QuaresmaO Brasil se tornou o 24º país filiado aos Invictus Games, torneio que vai até 16 de fevereiro no Canadá. Segundo o tenente-coronel Davi Pavelec, da Comissão Desportiva Militar do Brasil e chefe da missão brasileira, estar em Vancouver “oferece uma plataforma inédita de reconhecimento pessoal e fortalecimento da autoestima para os veteranos”.Fazer parte do torneio é uma demonstração do compromisso do país com a reabilitação e a valorização de seus militares. "Integrar este evento tem como objetivo promover a inclusão social, física e emocional dos nossos militares, oferecendo uma plataforma de superação e reconhecimento pessoal, além de fomentar um ambiente de apoio mútuo entre atletas", destacou Pavelec à RFI.A delegação verde-amarela conta com oito atletas, que irão disputar as provas em duas modalidades: vôlei sentado e natação. No vôlei, o paranaense Alex Witkovski, que ficou em 6° lugar quando a delegação brasileira disputou os Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024, volta às quadras animado.O Brasil deve aproveitar esta participação no Canadá para aprender mais com países como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido e Austrália, presentes desde a criação dos Invictus Games.“Esses países já possuem uma forte infraestrutura de apoio aos militares paratletas, tanto para a reabilitação, quanto ao esporte adaptado. O aprendizado está na forma como essas nações estruturam suas equipes, preparam os atletas e utilizam os jogos como uma ferramenta de reintegração social e psicológica", afirma Pavelec.Ele destaca a existência de um intercâmbio com nações mais experientes, por meio de parcerias com organizações internacionais, que ajudam a oferecer capacitação e troca de conhecimento sobre como otimizar programas de esporte para veteranos no Brasil. Pavelec cita os exemplos da Colômbia e da Argentina, que anualmente vêm ao Brasil para o Torneio Internacional Militar de Vôlei Sentado.Formação da equipe: desafios e superaçãoConstruir uma equipe para competir internacionalmente não foi simples. O Brasil enfrentou o desafio de estruturar um treinamento especializado. "Embora tenhamos iniciativas como o Programa de Paradesporto Militar, a cultura do esporte adaptado está em crescimento. Foi necessário um grande esforço para integrar o esporte à reabilitação", explicou Pavelec.O Ministério da Defesa acredita que os Invictus Games atuarão como uma ferramenta crucial na recuperação física e emocional dos militares. "Esses jogos são mais que uma competição, são um gesto de solidariedade e comunidade entre os veteranos", destacou o tenente-coronel.Os atletas foram selecionados com base em rigorosos critérios, considerando as habilidades esportivas e o desejo de superação pessoal. A preparação incluiu treinos frequentes com acompanhamento de técnicos especializados, para que os competidores estejam prontos para enfrentar os desafios com confiança.Futuro planejadoApós a participação nos Invictus Games, o Brasil planeja continuar o investimento no esporte adaptado. "O fortalecimento da cultura esportiva entre os militares com deficiência será uma prioridade, garantindo que eles tenham oportunidades para praticar esportes adaptados e participar de competições promovendo suas reabilitações e integração à sociedade", disse Pavelec.A delegação brasileira é composta por para-atletas das Forças Armadas e Forças Auxiliares.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!!!Our veteran population is crucial to our way of life for many reasons.  They have dedicated a portion of their lives to protecting our freedoms, shaping our nation, and setting the example of adaptability and service. Veterans Day is a time for us to stand united in showing our respect and support to those who have served. Veteran wellness is something that must be a united, daily effort. Service members face unique challenges throughout their military careers. The type, intensity, and duration of service, along with multiple layers of complexity during the transition process into veteran status can have a negative impact on health and well-being. This is a meaningful topic to both of us for many reasons and we are proud to focus on ways to collaborate with individuals and organizations who support veteran health and well-being.Welcome to SEASON TWO of The Nature of Wellness Podcast!!! Join us for this special premiere episode as we share two interviews with veterans who make life better for those who serve. John Langford served in the Marine Corps, as both enlisted and officer, for 23 years, retiring in 2009. During his service, John held multiple positions that focused on the health and well-being of active-duty Marines. John continues to devote his time to supporting those who have worn the uniform and currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer for Project Healing Waters, a non-profit dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and disabled veterans through fly fishing and associated activities including education and outings. John continues to devote his time to serving those who have served.John talks about the challenges that veterans face during the transition, how time in nature (especially near water) can positively impact health and well-being, the origins and incredible program offerings of PHW, and the power of resilience and authenticity. Sarah Evans served in the United States Air Force, retiring as a Captain. While serving in Afghanistan in 2012,  she was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, eventually leading to the amputation of her left leg at the hip. During her recovery, Sarah was introduced to adaptive sports, leading her down a path of self-discovery and growth. She has completed the 26.2-mile Bataan Memorial Death March and summited Mt. Kilimanjaro. Sarah has also competed in both the Warrior Games and Invictus Games and is currently a member of the US Amputee Soccer team. Sarah discusses some of the multi-dimensional wellness challenges veterans face, the need to build quality systems of support and finding your community, the power of “putting yourself out there,” and what is truly possible after facing adversity. We are beyond fortunate to have had these conversations and both left these discussions a bit different. Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast. We appreciate you all. Be Well-NOW Project Healing Waters Website: https://projecthealingwaters.orgInstagram: @phwffUS Amputee Soccer Association Website: usampsoccer.org Instagram: @usamputeesoccer    @usamputeesoccer_women * The Nature of Wellness Podcast is produced by the remarkable Shawn Bell.** The NOW theme song was written, performed, produced, and graciously provided by the incredibly talented Phil and Niall Monahan. 

On the surface, you may not think that the military or professional baseball have much to do with fields like wellness, mindfulness, or biophilia - but that's exactly where you'd be wrong according to today's guest, Dr. Mark Campbell. Dr. Mark is a performance psychologist and consultant who works with clients across a wide range of challenging industries to optimize their wellbeing. He got his start  working as a lead for the US Army's performance psychology and resilience program, worked closely on the DoD's Warrior Games and Prince Harry's Invictus Games, and served as the Director of Mental Conditioning for the Washington Nationals. Throughout his impressive career, Mark noticed the transformative impact that nature had on every single one of his clients and has made the outdoors a hallmark of his approach. He even hosts a podcast on the topic called the Nature of Wellness (NOW). We were thrilled to catch up with Mark this week to explore his impressive career, how he brings more people into nature by meeting them where they are, and his ultimate goal to legitimize the term wellness. Show NotesCampbell PerformanceNature of Wellness (NOW) Podcast Mental Mechanics: The Impact of Nature by Mark Campbell Mental Mechanics: The Beauty of Silence by Mark Campbell Warrior GamesInvictus GamesKey Words: Wellness, Psychology, Performance Psychology, Wounded Warrior Project, Veterans, Invictus Games, Warrior Games, Nature, Biophilia, Biophilic Design, Mindfulness, Sports, Athletics

On December 5, 2005, Air Force Special Ops Paratrooper Israel Del Toro's life changed completely when, returning to his base, the Humvee he was in ran over an IED. The resulting explosion and fire burned Del Toro over 80% of his body. He survived, somehow, and was transported back to a U.S. hospital. Against enormous odds, his trials and tribulations to live were just beginning. For the next four months, Del Toro lay in a coma. On three separate occasions his devoted wife, Carmen, was called to his side as doctors feared he would not make it overnight. His story is not only one of courage and overcoming horrific obstacles from war, but also conquering myriad roadblocks throughout his life. His amazing story began inspiring other wounded troops, and soon thereafter Del Toro became an advocate for others in the Burn Unit and those badly injured. He continues to inspire today, speaking at numerous organizations and foundations, and numbers among his strongest friends President George W. Bush, Prince Harry, Gary Sinise, and Jon Stewart. Del Toro has gone on to set records and win medals at The Warrior Games and The Invictus Games. He'as the recipient of a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. He won the Pat Tillman Courage Award at the ESPYs. Perhaps his most amazing accomplishment, though, occurred in February of 2010 when he became the first completely disabled airman ever to re-enlist in the Air Force and become an instructor. Today Del Toro is officially retired from the Air Force, but still encouraging troops and others dealing with major setbacks in their lives. He advocates for awareness and change in public policy for wounded, injured, and ill soldiers. Most recently,  he put pen to paper and authored ‘A PATRIOT'S PROMISE: Protecting My Brothers, Fighting for My Life, and Keeping My Word' which details his entire story.Israel's Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/idt21/?hl=enIsrael's new book - ‘A PATRIOT'S PROMISE: Protecting My Brothers, Fighting for My Life, and Keeping My Word':https://www.amazon.com/Patriots-Promise-Protecting-Brothers-Fighting-ebook/dp/B0B9KV5HR1FirstNet Built with AT&T:http://www.firstnet.com/healthandwellnessDownload the O2X Tactical Performance App:app.o2x.comLet us know what you think:Website - http://o2x.comIG - https://instagram.com/o2xhumanperformance?igshid=1kicimx55xt4f

On December 5, 2005, Air Force Special Ops Paratrooper Israel Del Toro's life changed completely when, returning to his base, the Humvee he was in ran over an IED. The resulting explosion and fire burned Del Toro over 80% of his body. He survived, somehow, and was transported back to a U.S. hospital. Against enormous odds, his trials and tribulations to live were just beginning. For the first time, Del Toro tells the full story of his ordeal in his truly inspiring memoir, A PATRIOT'S PROMISE: Protecting My Brothers, Fighting for My Life, and Keeping My Word (St. Martin's Press, on sale July 4, 2023, $28.99). For the next four months, Del Toro lay in a coma. On three separate occasions his devoted wife, Carmen, was called to his side as doctors feared he would not make it overnight. His story is not only one of courage and overcoming horrific obstacles from war, but also conquering myriad roadblocks throughout his life. At age 12, he lost his father and became the man of the house. Having been told by his high school guidance counselor he should just concentrate on going to a local junior college, the determined teen ended up with a scholarship to the University of Illinois. But just as things started rounding into shape in his young life, his mother unexpectedly died. Now Del Toro had to fully embrace the promise he gave his father to take care of his younger siblings. He walked away from his college dream and returned home to care for his family. With his siblings growing up, and family members close by, Del Toro made the tough decision to enlist in the Air Force. His skills were a natural fit and his superior officers could see his natural leadership qualities. Though recently married, with a baby boy to care for as well, he was deployed to Afghanistan. His strength and perseverance made his fellow cadets gravitate towards him. And then.December 5, 2005. Still, after being told he'd spend 18 months in the hospital, Del Toro was so determined to return home that he was released only two months into his stay. He still needed daily care from his wife, Carmen, and his greatest fear remained - would his young three-year-old son be frightened of his physical appearance? When father and son met again after months of separation, the young boy ran into his father's arms. All he wanted was his Dad back. His amazing story began inspiring other wounded troops, and soon thereafter Del Toro became an advocate for others in the Burn Unit and those badly injured. He continues to inspire today, speaking at numerous organizations and foundations, and numbers among his strongest friends President George W. Bush, Prince Harry, Gary Sinise, and Jon Stewart. Del Toro has gone on to set records and win medals at The Warrior Games and The Invictus Games. He won the Pat Tillman Courage Award at the ESPYs. Perhaps his most amazing accomplishment, though, occurred in February of 2010 when he became the first completely disabled airman ever to re-enlist in the Air Force and become an instructor. Though he couldn't deploy again he was at least back in the game.

Both of August O'Niell's parents served in the U.S. Air Force, and he followed suit thinking of a few years of service would pay for his college education. Instead, O'Niell overcame huge odds to become a member of a pararesue team, known as the PJ's. In Afghanistan, he and his team came under daily fire rescuing service members are others who were wounded or in precarious situations. However, that service also led to the greatest challenge of his life.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," O'Niell walks us through the events of July 15, 2011, when an enemy AK-47 round ricocheted into his helicopter and wounded him in both legs.

Most of us will never know the full horrors of combat. Many Servicemen and women suffer life-changing injuries, visible or otherwise, whilst serving their country. How do these men and women find the motivation to move on and not be defined by their injuries?On a trip to the Warrior Games in the USA in 2013, HRH The Duke of Sussex saw first-hand how the power of sport can help physically, psychologically and socially those suffering from injuries and illness. He was inspired by his visit and the Invictus Games was born.The word ‘invictus' means ‘unconquered'. It embodies the fighting spirit of wounded, injured and sick Service personnel and personifies what these tenacious men and women can achieve post injury. The Games harness the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation and generate a wider understanding and respect for those who serve their country.The Invictus Games is about much more than just sport – it captures hearts, challenges minds and changes lives.

John Wordin, who helped create the Warrior Games, gives hope to many Veterans. He combined fitness, rehabilitation, and suicide prevention programs to create an app for overall well being.

Back in the summer of 2017, I had the pleasure of meeting Rick Devericks at the Department of Defense Warrior Games in Chicago. Watching him compete for Team SOCOM, I witnessed firsthand how beneficial archery was for Rick and others wounded in combat. That trip helped to further my mission for connecting Veterans to the sport and Rick and I became fast friends. During our discussion, we talk about our faith, which Rick credits to his returning home safely from ten deployments, including five to Afghanistan. He also touches on how archery has helped him in his post-service life and how he's sharing that love with other Veterans through continued work with the Warrior Games and organizations like Challenge Aspen and the Kniestedt Foundation.Rick selflessly served our country for 20 years and we thank him for his service.  We are honored to be working with Veterans like Rick from coast to coast to help bring peace and healing to them through archery and the outdoors. If you want to join us on that mission, reach out to us on social media or through our website today.
