Under Armour’s “The Athlete No One Saw Coming” campaign

Cochlear implant recipient Theo Valles, a crew and water polo athlete, was one of 10 winners of Under Armour’s “The Athlete No One Saw Coming” campaign. The campaign was created to provide athletes between the ages of 14 and 17 with resources to improve their performance on their individual journeys to compete. In selecting Theo, Under Armour noted that “despite the water consistently damaging his cochlear implants, he returns to each practice and competition with renewed vigor and dedication. Theo sees a new side of crew through the distinct challenges he faces and the creativity he uses to conquer them each time.” Congratulations, Theo!
