No Excuses traces the
gymnastics career of a girl born deaf and partially blind. Despite challenge
after challenge and setback after setback, Aimee rose in the gymnastics world
to compete for UCLA and BYU and at the level of International Elite—a feat no
athlete with comparable disabilities has accomplished in the history of the
sport.
“Aimee’s not
deaf. She just can’t hear. Why would she need two eyes, when she has one? She
has no excuses.” (Valorie Kondos Field—Head Women’s Gymnastics Coach at UCLA
who won six NCAA National Championships)
“Aimee has
filled our hearts with the fire of warmth and love and inspired us all to
become better.” (Bruno Grandi—President of the International Gymnastics
Federation)
“Success is
peace of mind that is the direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did
your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.” (John
Wooden—Head Men’s Basketball Coach at UCLA who won ten NCAA National
Championships)
