No Excuses
By Kyle maynard

I had to send this as a text file, the .rtf got ate.  sigh.

Smile.

Needs a spell check and a look over.  Is supposed to have page breaks.

From the Book Jacket:
   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.
   NO EXCUSES 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.
  ? How Kyle has changed people's minds and opinions on the value of life
  ? The principles that have made Kyle a champion. BONUS:

  ? Kyle's very own diet and exercise regimen, which helped him compete at
the highest levels

  ? Thirteen ways to live a No Excuses life

  NO EXCUSES 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 MAYNARD was born in 1986 with a rare disorder called congenital
amputation. He has no

forearms, shortened legs, and stands only four feet tall. Yet 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.
