WINN Enhances Physical Training

Warrior Transition Battalion squad leaders, platoon sergeants, occupational therapists and physical therapists from Forts Stewart, Eustis, Polk, Leonard Wood, Bliss, Knox, Meade and the Warrior Transition Center in Virginia converged on Winn Army Community Hospital's Warrior Transition Battalion for a "Train the Trainer" clinic, Sept. 21-23.

Partnering with the U.S. Paralympic Military Committee, Winn WTB hosted this clinic to assist with setting-up a Sports and Recreation program for injured 3rd Infantry Division Soldiers.

Training included aquatics-based activities; adapted track; sitting and standing volleyball; power cycling/spinning; and core strengthening.

"Our hope is that through sport clinics, recreation, friendly competition, mentoring activities and networking, Soldiers discover what 'ability' really means," said Kallie Quinn, U.S. Olympic Committee Paralympic Military Program.
