One of the best books I've ever read was called Unstoppable. It was about a poor kid who realized they had a talent in football. He was a foster kid and his foster parents died so he went to live with the football coaches family. The coach trained him hard to the point where he was scoring 5 or 6 times a game. The one game he felt a pain in his knee and passed out. The next thing he knew he was in the hospital and his right leg from the knee down was cut off. He had gotten bone cancer and they had to cut his leg off or he wouldn't have survived. He made an amazing comeback with the coaches best friend who had lost a leg in the war too. He learned how to walk, jog, run, and cut on it and by the end of the next football season he was on the kickoff team playing again. I liked the book because the kid went through a lot but kept on going. He lost his real family, his foster family and his leg.
