Dakota Young is the typical high school kid. He plays football, basketball and baseball for Fairfield High School, and to many, he's now a source of inspiration.

Dakota's life changed on September 21 of last year, when he lost part of his right leg in an ATV accident. His recovery is remarkable; back on his football team's sideline in three weeks, and as of December 20, he was back on the basketball court. On his 18th birthday and in surprise fashion, Dakota was back in the game. See the video from KSDK below for more on this story. (direct link)
