Sobre este artículo
Washington, D.C., U.S.A.: Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2005. First Printing . Hard Back. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6" x 9. 243 Pages. Red boards with silver spine lettering. Dust jacket has 25.95 unclipped price. A gift quality book with no marks or stamps and faultless interior. Faced: with impossible challenges Kyle Maynard lives life with No Excuses. He was born a congenital amputee, his arms ending at his elbows and his legs at his knees. But that didn't stop Kyle Maynard from becoming a champion, on the wrestling mat and in his life. This is the inspiring story of Kyle's battle against the odds. You'll learn about the family who supported him, the coach who trained him, and the faith that strengthened him to face the toughest fights. In addition to Kyle Maynard's amazing story, revealed in its entirety for the first time, you'll learn about: . How Kyle's parents dealt with the shock of his birth. Why they allowed him no excuses and how that benefited Kyle as he learned to eat, type, write, and live without hands. How Kyle earned his way onto the football team as a hardnosed defensive lineman. How Kyle triumphed as a top state wrestler in Georgia. The core values that Kyle gained from his coach, his family, and the demands of competition. How Kyle's own incredible success met a new barrier: from the federal government, which blocked him from a future NCAA wrestling career. This is a book about a courageous young man who faced the seemingly impossible challenge to live a normal life-and won a phenomenal victory. Kyle has learned to live a full and active life. Besides dealing with everyday challenges, he is an excellent student, has impeccable handwriting, and can type fifty words a minute. A competitor to the core, Kyle was determined to succeed as an athlete. Through hard work, the support of his family, and a coach who designed new wrestling moves like the jawbreaker and buzz saw, Kyle became one of the top high school wrestlers in the state of Georgia. In 2005, he broke the world record in the modified bench press by lifting 360 pounds, three times his body weight. Kyle is the 2004 ESPY Award Winner (Best Athlete with a Disability) and a recipient of the President's Award for the Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame. He is currently a student at the University of Georgia.
