There are few examples of resilience and perseverance betterthan Anthony Robles. Born with one leg, Robles refused to see limitation. Instead, he saw opportunity – and turned that belief into an NCAA Wrestling Championship Title, a best-selling book, and a major motion picture called Unstoppable.Join Greg Inglin as he looks back at this amazing journey with Anthony, who shares his struggles along the way. How he almost quit in high school and then again in college, only to find hope from a group of third grade students and their letters of encouragement. Anthony’s mom played a big part in his mental fortitude, anddespite their struggles as a family, Anthony managed to navigate some tough situations without a strong father figure in his life.Hollywood loves his story too, as Amazon produced a majormovie where Jennifer Lopez plays his mom, and captures the struggle and the triumph of his journey.  This is not a wrestling story…it’s one of faith, perseverance, and a belief despite facing the biggest odds. Guest Resources:Anthony on IG: @arobles125The Book: Unstoppable: From Underdog to UndefeatedThe Movie: Unstoppable on Amazon Prime Gues idea?
