Built For Contact The Mercedes Russell Story: A True Story of Pain, Power, and Comeback (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257997617)

She was never built to be soft.

From the streets of Omaha to the brutal world of women's football, Mercedes Russell fought to prove she belonged in a game that told her she didn't.

And just when she made it to the top... her body broke.

Through pain, sacrifice, and relentless determination, she rose-only to face the toughest battle of her life when her body began to break.

Built for Contact is more than a sports story-it's a raw, emotional journey of identity, sacrifice, and resilience.

Mercedes didn't follow a straight path.
She fought through doubt, instability, long drives, and being underestimated at every turn.

When she finally found her place on the football field, she didn't just play-she dominated.

But greatness came at a cost.

After winning a championship, her body gave out, forcing her into a battle far harder than anything she faced on the field-learning how to walk again, rebuild her strength, and find herself beyond the game.
