After a stroke nearly ended his Army career, SFC Jeffrey Peters fought his way back—one pedal at a time.
In this interview, Peters, a platoon sergeant with Fort Riley’s Soldier Recovery Unit, shares how cycling and adaptive sports helped him reclaim his strength, his identity, and his sense of purpose. Selected to represent Team Army at the 2025 DoD Warrior Games, Peters opens up about the fear of losing his military life, the daily struggle to retrain his body, and the thrill of pushing his limits on three wheels.
His story isn’t just about recovery—it’s about determination, belonging, and finding new power through the camaraderie of competition.
