Sawyer had a knee injury in July 2024. He thought it would just get better with rest, but he still had difficulty with walking, stairs, and playing football as his season began. He had subluxed his kneecap leaving it weaker, painful and less stable.
Sawyer says: “The people at Peak were welcoming and kind. They gave me good workouts and doing them consistently at home really helped me. My family pushed me to them too. I knew that I wanted to get back to playing football. I felt my legs get stronger and my stretching helped me stay loose in games and practice. I am now better at football and basketball and feel stable on one leg!”
Bill says: “Sawyer is an amazing kid. Not often do you find a middle school athlete with such internal drive. He took everything we threw at him and turned it into a strength. When he started, his squat form was not so good. Young athletes that are growing find this difficult to change, but Sawyer worked at it until he the strength to do the squat perfectly with one leg! He returned to play football and is now starting his basketball season. He knows he will continue to work out after Peak. Zack and I are honored to get to work with him every week. Great Job Sawyer!”
Sawyer chose the DAV : Disabled American Veterans as his charity. Peak made a $50 donation in Sawyer’s name to the DAV in honor of his accomplishments here at Peak!
