No Hands, No Feet, No Limits New Memoir By Paralympian Gold Medal Winner Tony Volpentest
Most athletes can only dream of running in the Olympics. Tony Volpentest achieved this dream and rose to the top of his sport. This accomplishment is all the more incredible because Tony was born without hands or feet, yet was a four-time Paralympic
Online, July 24, 2012 (Newswire.com) - In spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Tony Volpentest is inspirational from the first moment you meet him, and his new book, Fastest Man In The World: The Tony Volpentest Story (Bettie Youngs Books, July 2012) guides readers on an incredible journey through the mindset of an Olympic Champion.
According to presidential candidate Ross Perot who penned the forward for the book "Throughout history, individuals have been remembered for different reasons. Some for leadership on the battle field, in legislative chambers, or at religious institutions. Others are known for their acts of overcoming obstacles and exceeding in life. Tony Volpentest is one of those individuals."
Perot says "Several words come to mind when trying to describe Tony: competitor, conqueror, father, role model and many others."
Fastest Man In The World: The Tony Volpentest Story is an irresistible page-turner that is more than a story about sports and easily draws the reader into Tony's world where his motto is "If you can dream it, you can achieve it." Candid and insightful, the book chronicles Tony's rise as he begins his journey to Olympic Gold and culminates with a nomination to the 2012 Olympic Hall of Fame.
Fastest Man In The World: The Tony Volpentest Story will inspire runners and non-runners, handicapped and able-bodied to push themselves beyond the safety of their comfort zone and realize what it's really like to live a life with no limits.
Tony will be speaking about The Fastest Man Alive: The Tony Volpentest Story and signing books at July 26 @ 7PM
