Brian Detrick

Knowmor Inc. is proud to be a sponsor of Brian Detrick, a home grown world class athlete. We have partnered with Brian because unlike other competitive athletes we see, his sport is unique in its multidirectional opposition to gravitational forces. Brian received IMPROVED RESULTS after therapy. Before our sessions, he placed 18th in the Moomba Masters. After therapy, he tied for 2ND PLACE in the Moomba Masters. Brian has gone on to achieve 4th overall on the 2019 IWWF World Ranking List.

September 8th, 2018 – USA Adaptive Water Ski & Wake Sports (formerly Water Skiers with Disabilities Association), a sport discipline organization of USA Water Ski & Wake Sports, has announced the selection of the 2019 USA Adaptive Water Ski Team that will compete in the 14th Disabled Water Ski World Championships, July 22-28, 2019, in Skarnes, Norway. The selections were announced following the conclusion of the 25th Barbara Bolding/Jim Grew Fund Adaptive Water Ski National Championships, Sept. 5-8, in Paducah, Ky.

Within each event (slalom, tricks and jumping) at the Disabled Worlds, athletes are grouped into the three categories of seated (paraplegics and quadriplegics), standing (arm and/or leg disabilities with or without prosthesis) and vision impaired (partially or totally blind). At the 2017 Disabled Water Ski World Championships, the USA Adaptive Water Ski Team earned the world team silver medal and seven U.S. team members won individual medals.
