Retired U.S. Army Capt. Tony J. Smith discusses his journey of recovery and renewed purpose through adaptive sports during the 2026 Warrior Games in San Antonio, Texas. After stepping away from active-duty service, Smith found confidence, camaraderie and a renewed sense of direction through competition. Smith earned a bronze medal in the powerlifting competition in his weight class and reflects on how the Warrior Games have helped him continue moving forward. The 2026 Warrior Games take place June 13-20 in San Antonio, Texas, bringing together nearly 200 wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force/Space Force, and Special Operations Command to compete across multiple adaptive sporting events.
