Veterans Day is dedicated to all of those who have served our country over the years, and it gives the general public a chance to say thank you to those who have had a part in allowing us to enjoy our freedom.
In this blog we recognize Sean Johnson, a former Magee patient, current Magee wheelchair tennis player, and former Psychiatry (Mental Health) Specialist in the US Air Force. Sean will be featured in a reality game show called the Triumph Games, which airs tonight, Wednesday, November 11, on CBS Sports Network at 7 PM and 10 PM EST.
I asked Sean a few questions about his experience, and this is what he had to say.
Keith Newerla: What exactly is the Triumph Games?
KN: What was it like training for the Triumph Games?
SJ: Training for the Triumph Games was a grueling test of mental and physical fortitude. We began our training at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute which hosts top athletes and business executives from across the country.
KN: What was your favorite event to compete in during the Triumph Games and why?
SJ: My favorite event was the Motorsports Racing! We completed a three-lap race in the powerful Mustang Roush. I love to drive and loved going as fast as I could even more!
The Triumph Games showcase the tenacity and heart of our veterans. Thank a vet today. And remember to cheer on Sean at the Triumph Games tonight on CBS Sports Network. Good luck, Sean! We hope you bring home the $100,000 grand prize.
