Wheel Head
Description
Wheel Head tells the rousing story of David Kiley and the dramatic arc of adaptive sports over six-decades. Full of novel, innovative characters and uncharted storylines, Wheel Head is a history lesson in exploration of disability, elite sport, addiction and an everlasting faith.
Drawing on Kiley's various pioneering times and stories, writer Miles Thompson crafts a story of resilience, humor and gritty determination. The Kiley/Thompson team stay away from making Wheel Head a glorifying delve into everything David Kiley. The two instead are determined to tell Kiley's story in the truth as they know it and unearthed it.
[Dave Kiley] is the teacher who has lived the lessons and shares the knowledge so that others can understand that the power of one's own mind is a force to be reckoned with in any kind of adverse situation.

Dave Kiley is a true American success story. In my life I've had the privilege of meeting hundreds of influential people. Dave is at the top of the list! His contribution to men, women and children with disabilities has been endless. Dave's 'no limits"' attitude has allowed him to build innovative adaptive sport programs across the country... not to mention his gold medals in THREE sports!
The great lesson of getting through tough times and moving forward exemplifies what Dave is about. He has taken a bad break in life and turned it into a life mission of service. His selfless example is truly inspirational! His story is truly a compelling read. The honor of knowing Dave for over 40 years has been a tremendous gift in my life. I hope people who get to hear his journey feel the same gift!

David Kiley's story is not just about overcoming adversity, but about transforming it into triumph, leadership and a big give-back. Wheel Head captures the essence of an indomitable spirit who has left an indelible mark on the world of Paralympic sports.
