I enjoy stories of triumph over adversity. This was a good one and I was initially surprised to see it happened not that long ago. Football would not normally be my go to but bonus that it gave me something to share with my son and husband.

I love this story! Just because you are different doesn’t make you less than. This team’s story is amazing! I’m so glad that Fuller wrote this book to tell their story. The book included a lot of education surrounding football and the deaf community. If you are even slightly curious, I encourage you to give this book a shot.

This book is incredibly informative and inspirational. There is so much depth to the characters and their backstory, their journey from where they came before to join the community at this school system. It was a brilliant perspective and raw feature to these football players and the deaf community that rallies in their successes.

Yes this book is about sports but that is not the main point of the book. The author uses football as a context to discuss Deafness, Deaf culture, and perspectives on disability. This book was fast paced, used minimal sports lingo, and provided a (seemingly) good introduction to Deaf culture. I would encourage everyone to read this book.
I want to acknowledge that I am hearing and the author is as well and there are parts of the Deaf experience we may be missing.
