Good books/autobiographies about athletes overcoming obstacles

[houser34]

My mom is looking to recommend a book to a student, an avid sports fan, who is going through a real rough time right now.
Has anyone read any good books about/by athletes that is kind of centered around overcoming setbacks against odds, etc?

Recently watched the doc so this popped into my head. I'm sure if you asked S&T, you would get a lot better answers.

I heard the Jerry West book that came out recently is pretty good.

Dave Dravecky's book is pretty good and it's an easy read too.  He used to pitch for the Giants and lost his pitching arm to cancer in the prime of his career.
