Session #903: No Excuses
Kyle Maynard will show you that there are no worthy excuses. No matter how challenging your difficulties may seem, everyone has the ability to overcome; Maynard will show you how. He was born with a condition known as congenital amputation that has left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs that end near his knees. You will be spellbound as Maynard chronicles his life experiences. His accomplishments as an athlete speak for themselves, but he believes it's a part of his mission to show others that you are capable of achieving greatness in your lives as well.
