The purpose of this research study is to explore the lived experiences of recently transitioned veterans of the U.S. Military who have wounds, illnesses, or injuries, who participated in a military adaptive sports program as part of the healing and transition process. An experiential study looking at the service members’ interpretation of these specific programs has not been conducted, leaving a gap in research, specifically within this population. Understanding participant experiences could assist in recommendations for further support, development, and implementation of adaptive sports programming to assist in a complete transition into the veteran status and beyond.
