You might have seen it, the standing ovation and stirring speech at the espys. The biggest names in sports honoring their hero. A High School Football coach born with no limbs but fully embracing life. We first encountered rob mendez earlier this year and saw a soul full of strength and resilience. Coach rob mendez reporter it was a moment that brought everyone to their feet. And rob mendez jr. , a High School Football coach, born with out arms or legs came on the stage. A moment at last nights espys that should have been impossible. Its honestly been hard for me to fathom receiving this award, to be recognized alongside heroes. If theres any you guys is to look how far its gotten me. Reporter the road full of heartbreak, faith and football. At this time i want to introduce to you a coach that i hired, because i was impressed with his knowledge of the game. Your new coach, rob mendez. [ applause ] reporter mendez was born may 9, 1988 with a rare condition known as tetra melia. It was really, really awful. I didnt have a chance to have aabortion. I didnt see robert for about two weeks, because i didnt know what to do. But hes different. He sees people staring as an opportunity. Robert was just a really easy child. And he just was really, really happy. Whats your Favorite Team . San francisco 49ers. Hes got a gift that doesnt require him to be physical. Making him aware of that, i think he just took the ball and ran. I think the most difficult part of having no arms and legs is simply not being able to play sports. I dont show it. Im good at not showing it. I get mad. I get mad at god, i get mad at the lord. Why . His freshman year, he was standing behind the fence at a distance watching practice. That was the beginning. We wanted to get him involved in the program. So we invited him to be our manager. They obviously knew i couldnt play, but to include me, it made me feel a part of it. It made me feel, i guess you can say, normal. He paid attention to us as coaches, but he learned the game. He created game plans on madden and then come to practice and try to create the same game plans and execute them the same way. Reporter for 12 years, rob worked as an assistant, waiting for a head coaching opportunity. Then in 2014, a school hired him to be the offensive coordinator of their jv team. It was a chance to prove himself. It was my first game going into the second half. The head coach wanted me to change the play calling style and run the ball more. We had to score one more touchdown. And we lost 3514. And the part that really rubbed me the wrong way was that he put the blame on me in front of the kids. I mean, after only one game, i was out of a job. I stayed in my room for two days. I was sad, and i didnt know if i was going to ever be a head coach or if i was going to continue coaching. Reporter but as rob does, he picked himself up, carried on, and in april 2018 interviewed for his first head coach position with the Prospect High SchoolJunior Varsity team. When i go to an interview for a job, scare is not the right word but surprise them. And i dont know how theyre going to take the surprise. As he rolls out, to be brutally honest, when i first saw that is correct i was like, how can that guy coach . And he comes close, and says give me a fist pump. And all those nerves melted away. I know ive been ready for it. Ive been overlooked and finally somebody gave me the opportunity. Their is my 13th year coaching and i cant wait to get to know every single one of you. Believe in yourself, believe in your teammates and believe in what youre doing. If youre taken back, thats natural and human. But after the first two seconds its just a normal guy. Though he may not look like a coach, he definitely acts like one. What were going to teach right now is called 31 zone. On his phone, he can diagram a play faster thanki do with pen and paper. Theres definitely doubters out there like parents, my son is getting coached as a quarterback from a guy who has no arms and no legs. That lights a fire under my butt. One thing i care about is being a family. If you cant show love on this football field you better get off of it. Things i take for granted like brushing your teeth, washing your face, going to the restroom, taking a shourwer, robert needs someone to help him. But hes tough. Me being called has been my motivation. Who says i cant . Nobody who says i cant . Nobody who says i cant originally came from me just having a drive to accomplish whatever people doubted me for. Who says i cant . Nobody who says i cant . Nobody yeah hes willing to do all of that, what are we willing to do . Keep it up, lets go reporter after losing their first game, prospect went on to win seven in a row, outscoring their opponents 151132. He really has done a job i havent seen other coaches do at that level before. Remember this im proud of every single one of you. But damn it, were not done yet gone the distance, and its good they take the Division Title for the win this afternoon over prospect. Its okay. Dont worry about it. I really sincerely want you guys to understand how much i appreciate this. Our opponents, theyd always doubt him, because they see a man in a wheelchair. To us, we see our coach. Whos perfect. When im pushing him off the field after games, it makes me feel like proud to have him as my coach. I love those kids, and im always going to remember them. I think we make a perfect team. Can we agree on that . Yes, coach can we agree on that . Yes, coach who says i cant . Nobody who says i cant . Nobody who saying i cant nobody yeah reporter back at the espys, the true titan in the room unleashed one last battle cry. Who says i cant . Nobody yeah [ applause ] you can watch rob mendezs full speech from the espys on espn. Com.

If yhe were to Pete Buttigieg would be the youngest president ever. The openlygay millennial is attracting attention but not for the right reasons, under fire for racial tensions back home. Heres matt gutman. Reporter Pete Buttigieg is not your typical president ial candidate. He plays impromptu guitar and piano gigs and speaks seven languages, including arabic. Of course his is better than mine. Youre good. Reporter hes a rhoads scholar who served as a Naval Intelligence officer in afghanistan and the mayor of south bend, indiana for the past seven years. So the whole downtown is undergoing this renaissance that were trying to keep balanced with the need to invest in the neighborhoods. Reporter at 37 ma lynnial, he has a strength, like his name. Now winking, an inside joke among his supporters and his sexual orientation, the openlygay politician puts it on center stage. Realistically, do you think this country is ready for a gay president . A theres only one way to find out. Its simple enough to put on a bumper sticker. Freedom, security and democracy. Reporter relatively unknown when he announced, he quickly became a buzzy candidate for the nomination. Weve been able to go from total on security to leading the entire democratic field in fund raising and vaulting to the top five among the candidates. Reporter our visit comes at a pivotal time for buttigieg whos been running or his record as mayor. In recent weeks, that record called into question over allegations he hasnt done enough for his citys africanamerican community. I have black supporters and black critics in this community. But in the end of the day, i wouldnt have gotten reelected in this Community Without black support. Reporter but his support among african members dipped. A south Bend Police Officer shot and killed a suspect sunday morning. Reporter could now be at a new low following the june 6th shooting of eric logan by a white Police Officer who alleges logan approached him with a knife and ignored several orders to drop it. If youre saying its not good enough. Youre right. Reporter the city has provided no corroboration of those claims to the public. The story that was reported by the police department, it just didnt add up to a lot of residents here. He wasnt known to be somebody who would carry a knife. He wasnt known to be someone who would challenge the police. Reporter this in a city whose population is 25 africanamerican, roughly 35 living in poverty. He held a town hall in south bend, residents confronted him. I aim raising a 7yearold grandson that when he sees the police he is afraid. That is not whats supposed to happen in america, in indiana in 2019. Reporter the issue becoming a flash point in the first democratic debate on nbc. The police force in south bend is now 6 black in a city that is 26 black. Why has that not improved over your two terms as mayor . Because i couldnt get it done. Reporter why did you respond that way . Because it was the truth. It may or may not be good politics, but i think if im going to talk proudly of all the achievements weve made we have to talk about where weve fallen short. Thats the policy and someone died. Reporter what was going through your mind when you began to answer that and got stumped. I wasnt stumped. Reporter you were quiet. I was. Sometimes the better part of valor is restraint. Reporter what actually gets through the veneer and into your gizzards . One of the reasons ive learned to be very disciplined in how i speak and how i act is because im really passionate about the work that i do and about the country we live in. So i try, i try to make sure that i dont get carried off into saying or doing something id regret of. Reporter what hurts you . Well, it hurts me to see people suffer. It hurts me to confront the possibility that thats being made worse by something that im part of. The things that bother me most are the moments when i realize i might have done something differently. Reporter today butte general announcing his douglass plan in part through criminal Justice Reform and investing in black america. When black americans experience true freedom and justice every american is better off. Reporter butte generals teacher and supporter says shes always known him to face a challenge head on. One thing about peter is he continues to learn. He will take someones suggestion and explore it to see if theres a better way of doing something. He will always reevaluate, and he is not going to abandon any project, because if it is good for the people and going to improve their lives, thats what its about. Reporter butte general wigi running for his second term as mayor when he maid the risky decision to come out. People were more interested in the fact that the city was coming back in the way that i had served this community. I believe the same will happen at the national level. Today were going to introduce the mayor. It is important to him that his city thrive and reach its potential. More importantly, i think the city did not believe in itself before peter became mayor of south bend. That was his first task. How do you get the city to believe in itself again . And the city does believe in itself. Reporter as mayor, hes distinguished himself by using technology and data to governor. The selfavowed technology junky has caught silicon valleys attention. A chunk of buttigiegs last round of fund raising came from big tech. Is breaking up some of the Big Tech Companies something you would support . Potentially. I think we see evidence of appoi anticompetitive behavior, and the federal trade commission needs to deal with that. I dont think candidates or president s need to think about companies to break up. Reporter he is outraising every other candidate with a bankbusting 25 million just in the past three months. Abc news poll has him tied for fifth place. Theres something about our message that matters. And i think what it is is people are ready for something different. Reporter do you think youre ready to be president right now . And if so why . I didnt think i would run for president if i didnt think i was ready. What we need now is leadership that can recognize the accelerating pace of change. If were not dealing with the causes were never going to be able to deal with the symptoms. What we need is a president who looks into the future and recognizes what implications those changes will play out across my lifetime have for the present, the decisions were making right now. Reporter if you dont get the nomination, what do you do . My plan is to win. Reporter for nightline, im matt gutman in south bend, indiana.
