From Injury to Impact: Derek at the High Sierra Archery Shoot

Mountains don’t care about your plans.
Lake Tahoe. Blue water. High sierra wind.
Derek knows the wind. He knows the mountain.
He used to build on it.
He used to snowboard down it.
Then, everything changed. One slip. A roof. A T8 vertebrae shattered. But we don't stop. We don't quit.
We endure

In a blink: everything shut off.
Legs. Career. The world he knew.
T8 spinal cord injury.
The diagnosis: permanent. Dark times. Constant thoughts. What could have been? What was?
The mind is a dangerous place when the body is still.
Team Whiskey High Sierra Archery Shoots aren't just about hitting foam targets.For Derek, it was therapeutic.It started as a distraction. It became "soul-arching."The draw weight. The release. The silence of the arrow.It’s a restart. From the ground up.Archery 3D shoot mechanics require focus.Total focus.You forget the chair. You forget the injury.You focus on the pin.This is why we do what we do at Team Whiskey.

Resilience is a choice.
Our motto isn't just a screen print on a hoodie.
It's Derek. It's every family fighting the fight
