'Born without limbs, this inspiring author shares tales from his life as a high-school football coach in the Bay Area. Now 32, Mendez became well known in 2019, when ESPN released a documentary about him, Who Says I Can't? Supported by remarkable parents who help him focus on what he can do, he doesn't dwell on how he needs help with everyday tasks. He knows that he's never going to be able to play football, but he sure can coach it and help young people realize their potential. Mendez's success earns him ESPN's Jimmy V Award, named after Jimmy Valvano, the North Carolina State basketball coach and TV broadcaster who was known for perseverance. Like Valvano, Mendez believes people need to do three things every day--laugh, think, and cry (tears of happiness count). 'Crying means you care,' he says. Mendez also writes about how he turns to the Bible for guidance. This memoir is also a love letter to football as Mendez clearly adores its intricacies along with the young players who embrace him and the sport.'
