## Transcript

For me, sport instilled essential core values from a very young age, but it didn't shape my identity as a young man. The British Army did. When I hung up my uniform, I felt like I'd lost not just my profession, but a part of my purpose, too. During both combat tours of Afghanistan, I witnessed firsthand the human cost of conflict. Once from the ground and once from the air. But what I didn't fully anticipate was the sheer number of life changing, visible, and invisible wounds that would impact my brothers and sisters in arms, as well as their families. And it wasn't until 2013 in Colorado Springs, when I visited the Warrior Games and watched American Wounded service members compete, that I realized something remarkable.

I didn't just see recovery, I saw possibility. I saw individuals develop an unshakable resolve that what happened to them will not be the end of their story, and many of those competing had never considered themselves athletes before. Many had never tried their chosen sport before, let alone using it for recovery. And yet, in the arena, sport wasn't simply rebuilding strength. It was restoring confidence, purpose, identity, and connection. That's when I realized something profound. Sport isn't just entertainment and competition. Sport is medicine. It reaches places that surgery cannot. Therapies sometimes struggle to.

And words often never will. It challenges the body, focuses the mind, and gives people permission to believe that once. What once seemed impossible may still be within reach. And in doing so, it helps whole families heal too. It's a reminder to all of us that the comeback is better than the setback.
