520	$aDylan Alcott acquired his never-say-die attitude fighting for the TV remote with his brother, Zack. It's something he put to good use when, as a young kid with a disability, he discovered sport. Cricket, tennis, basketball, marbles - Dylan could always be found at the centre of the action, trying his hardest and playing to win. Fast forward ten years or so, and the now three-time Paralympic gold medallist, Order of Australia recipient and world tennis champion combines elite sport with a love for music (he's a triple j radio announcer and is famous for crowd surfing in his wheelchair). But Dylan's greatest passion is to help young people with disabilities achieve their dreams, a passion that drives him every day of his life. In Able, Dylan shares his story. It's the tale of a kid who refuses to be defined by his disability, who has a go, puts in heart and soul, always sees the upside and never quits. As inspiring, honest and funny as its author, Able proves that disability is just a word - not a definition.
