Landon Sachs: From Tragedy to Scholarship Wheelchair Tennis Player

At T3 Tennis, we are constantly inspired by the incredible journeys of the athletes we serve. One story that particularly stands out is that of Landon Sachs, who has overcome unimaginable challenges and is now thriving as a scholarship wheelchair tennis player at the University of Arizona.

Landon’s path to wheelchair tennis began after a life-altering tragedy when he was eight years old. Despite facing severe physical and emotional challenges, he discovered adaptive tennis during high school through a supportive program at JSerra Catholic High School. His determination, athleticism, and refusal to give up have propelled him to compete nationally, earn a scholarship, and break barriers as one of the first wheelchair athletes in his county to compete against able-bodied opponents.

Stories like Landon’s remind us why programs like T3 Tennis exist: to provide access, support, and opportunity for athletes of all ages to discover their potential, develop their skills, and build confidence through wheelchair tennis. Each athlete’s journey is unique, but the lessons of resilience, dedication, and community are universal.

We are proud to support and celebrate athletes like Landon, and we remain committed to expanding opportunities for wheelchair tennis in Southern California.
