==Early sports career==
Although he was born with a rare condition known as congenital amputation, where fibrous bands prevent the development of fetal limbs, Maynard decided to pursue involvement in sports, first in youth league football, where he played nose tackle for the Collins Hill National Eagles at age 11. He wrestled in high school, ultimately winning 36 matches in his senior year of high school. He went on to place 12th in the 103-pound weight class. Maynard also began weight training, and was awarded the title of GNC’s World’s Strongest Teen by bench pressing 23 repetitions of 240 lbs. The same year, he received the ESPN Espy Award for Best Athlete With A Disability in 2004.〔("Kyle Maynard, Congenital Amputee, To Fight ), ''MMA Weekly'', 25 April 2009. From a press release by Undisputed Productions.〕 Maynard appeared in both ''Vanity Fair'' and the Abercrombie & Fitch ''Stars on the Rise'' catalog. He was also the recipient of the 2004 President's Award for the Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame. He went on to attend the University of Georgia and was a part of their wrestling team, but left shortly after starting his education to promote his book and pursue a speaking career.〔(Athlete, Motivational Speaker, No Excuses Author, CrossFit Gym Owner – Motivational Speaking ).
