Veteran Spotlight: Kelly Smith
Our September Veteran Spotlight Kelly Smith, a dedicated U.S. Army veteran who has faced challenges with both mental and physical disabilities. Through his involvement in BlazeSports, Kelly has found a way to cope and thrive. He participates in a variety of adaptive sports, including cycling, yoga, water aerobics, air rifle, bowling, and archery. Each of these sports has helped him regain his strength and improve his well-being.
BlazeSports’ coaches, instructors, and staff have been instrumental in helping Kelly develop healthy habits that have brought him a sense of joy and purpose. He’s expressed gratitude for how they’ve guided him to create meaningful routines that allow him to stay engaged and active. These activities have given him more than just physical fitness—they have become a lifeline for his mental well-being as well.
One of Kelly’s most cherished memories is being given the chance to volunteer, which was his first time doing so. Helping others has brought Kelly immense fulfillment, and he enjoys the sense of camaraderie and purpose it provides. This experience has not only helped him grow but also reinforced the deep connections he has built through BlazeSports.
Thank you, Kelly, for your service and your continued dedication. We’re excited to keep supporting your journey, and we look forward to many more years of serving you. 🔥
