IG23 Episode 1 David Wiseman
from Service and Beyond
David is a former British Army infantry officer who suffered a near fatal wound in a combat exchange in Afghanistan in 2009. Following his injury and after his military career, David has been instrumental in the Invictus Games movement playing key roles in the organising committee of the inaugural games, as UK team captain and as a competitor where he was won 14 medals across 3 games. David's remarkable physical and psychological recovery which saw him embark on a series of mountaineering challenges while recovering from his injury has inspired thousands of wounded injured and sick former service people to take up adaptive sports. David is now the Director for International Development at the Invictus Games Foundation where he is responsible for the growth of the Invictus Games, welcoming new nations into the Invictus family. This Invictus Games 2023 series charts the journey of current and former Invictus Games athletes from a range of countries covering their military careers, their deployment histories and the injuries they sustained. We talk about their experience of life changing injury, and their remarkable physical and emotional recover through training and competing in adaptive sports and through the Invictus Games.
