Men's Health magazine has named Maple Heights High School history teacher and Army veteran Corwyn Collier the 2023 Men’s Health Ultimate Guy.MAPLE HEIGHTS, Ohio — The resilience that Army veteran Corwyn Collier shows as a partial amputee and track coach at Maple Heights High School has propelled him onto the cover of Men’s Health as the magazine’s Ultimate Guy 2023.
As a former All-American college athlete, Collier used to define himself based on his athletic skills. But losing 70 pounds and becoming an amputee meant rethinking the role fitness played in both his life and his definition of being a man. Now he is a history teacher at his alma mater, Maple Heights High School, the magazine noted in a release.
“When you identify yourself with being physically fit and now you can’t stand up or go to the bathroom by yourself, it made me lose hope,” Collier says in the magazine profile. “You don’t know how long [the recovery] is going to take. It made me feel like I’d rather be dead. That’s the depression and PTSD part of it all. That’s where my mind was at for a while.”
