Olutoyosi Solarin

Retired Personnel Specialist Petty Officer 2nd Class was drawn by a strong sense of purpose when he enlisted in the Navy in 2021. He wanted to grow as a leader and contribute to making a meaningful impact at home and abroad. His care team introduced him to Navy Wounded Warrior during his recovery. Once enrolled, he saw the adaptive sports program as a way to stay active, rebuild his strength, and stay mentally engaged. He attended his first camp in November 2025, where he developed a newfound love for sitting volleyball. He loved its fast pace and tight teamwork. Now as part of Team Navy, he gets to experience it on a larger scale.
