Sinopsis

In today's episode of the mind set game podcast, I sat down with Dave Stevens. He was born without legs in the late 1960s, was put up for adoption, and was raised by two loving and supportive parents who instilled core values that helped make him the man he is today. In the years before adaptive sports, he decided to play able-bodied sports and became a pioneer in his home state of Arizona. Dave attended elementary school in the Washington Elementary School District in Phoenix and was a student at Mountain View, Sunnyslope and Desert Foothills schools. Dave played basketball, floor hockey, volleyball, softball and every sport possible before becoming a three-sport varsity athlete at Wickenburg High School in Wickenburg, AZ. After numerous national articles and a feature appearance on ABC’s “That’s Incredible”, he was awarded a scholarship to Augsburg College in Minnesota. It was here that he became the only legless player in college football history. His success eventually led to a tryout with Dallas Cowboys
