Landon Sachs: Inspiring Journey in Adaptive Tennis

T3 Adaptive Racquet Sports • December 5, 2022

One of our athletes, Landon Sachs, was recently featured in the Los Angeles Times for his incredible journey in adaptive tennis. Despite facing unimaginable challenges, Landon has shown extraordinary strength, resilience, and passion for the sport.


Landon’s story begins with loss and hardship—he was shot and paralyzed at a young age. But instead of giving up, he channeled that adversity into something powerful and inspiring. At JSerra High School, Landon became the first prep athlete in Orange County to compete in a tennis match in a wheelchair against able-bodied players. He also placed second in the USTA Level 1 Junior National Wheelchair Championships in Rome, Georgia.


More than winning matches, Landon’s greatest achievement has been his courage to show up. Not long ago, he was quiet, unsure, and hiding behind his wheelchair. But supported by his coaches, family, and the launch of T3 Adaptive Racquet Sports, Landon’s voice has grown, his presence has strengthened, and he has become an inspiration to younger athletes and community members alike.


We are so proud of Landon’s accomplishments and honored to share his story. If you’d like to read the full article, you can do so
