Robert Mendez, Born Without Arms and Legs, Has a Job that He Loves: Coaching Football



San Jose, California - Robert Mendez was born without arms and legs, but he refuses to be limited by his physical differences and lives life to the fullest, even coaching San Jose High’s Varsity football team.

"You can't look at someone and just completely judge them right away," said Mendez, who's the assistant coach for the Bulldogs, " I'm not a disabled coach.  I'm a different coach."

The 28-year-old said he has a job that he loves, coaching football.

He says he loves the energy of the game and the lessons learned from each practice.

"I've ran across so many people in the 10 years that I've coached," said Mendez who can turn physical disadvantages into advantages.

He uses his wheelchair to draw plays on the field.
