**Alejandro Pabon: The Triple Sport Athlete Making Waves in Adaptive Sports**

 

In the world of adaptive sports, few athletes shine as brightly as Alejandro Pabon. A triple sport athlete, Pabon has made a name for himself in wheelchair rugby, wheelchair basketball, and most recently, wheelchair football. His most recent triumph came as a member of the Dallas Cowboys Wheelchair Football Club, where he clinched the Super Bowl championship in February of 2024 at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas. In a thrilling final showdown against the reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Cowboys emerged victorious with a scoreline of 27–14.

Pabon's journey to success is marked by a remarkable achievement—he has won championships in all three adaptive sports he competes in. From the fast-paced action of wheelchair rugby to the strategic maneuvers of wheelchair basketball, Pabon has consistently displayed unparalleled skill and determination. As a member of TEAM USA in wheelchair rugby, he is widely regarded as one of the best in his classification across all three sports.

Reflecting on his latest triumph, Pabon expressed gratitude and determination, stating, "I’m beyond blessed to keep having opportunities to not just participate in different sports, but to excel at them too. Winning a football championship is a true testament to the fact that discipline and hard work pays off, even in unfamiliar grounds. As with all sports I play, I will continue to work endlessly to become the very best I can be."

Despite his recent football success, Pabon's journey is far from over. He is set to return to the Texas Stampede to compete in this year's national championship in Tampa, Florida. As defending champions in the D1 category, Pabon and his team are poised to once again showcase their skill and determination on the national stage. With his unwavering dedication and unmatched talent, Alejandro Pabon continues to inspire and redefine the boundaries of adaptive sports.
