Rob Mendez sounds like any other football coach on any other field across America -- passionate, authoritative, knowledgeable -- but he is like no other coach you know.
Coach Rob has no arms or legs. He moves in a custom-made wheelchair that he operates with his shoulders. Coach Rob diagrams plays on a smartphone attached to the chair, using a stylus that he maneuvers with his mouth. Coach Rob first learned football-playing Madden video games, and that is just one incredible detail of his remarkable story.
Born without limbs, an extremely rare condition called Tetra-amelia, Coach Rob has been beating the odds for 30 years.
