SAN ANTONIO - Sgt. Daniel Cowart teeters on a spongy balance beam, his arms riding an unsteady wave. His face is strained. His lips are pursed. His glasses slide as the sweat streams.
His gait is deliberate; some steps prove harder than others. He walks backward on the beam. He falls.

He gets up, now walking sideways. He collapses, his 5-foot-8, 185-pound frame hits the blue mat with a noticeable thud.
