“Every soul who comes to earth with a leg or two at birth must wrestle his opponents knowing its not what is, but what can be that measures worth. Make it hard, just make it possible and through pain, I wont complain. My spirit is unconquerable. Fearless I will face each foe for I know I am capable. I don’t care what’s probable, through blood sweat and tears I am unstoppable.” – Anthony Robles
Anthony Robles hardly cares about his disability or the things he isn’t blessed with; he’s rather interested in creating opportunities, using every possible gifts of him – courage to defeat the difficulties, desire to move forward and unbeatable spirit to face any extreme- to live the precious life and inspire millions of people worldwide.
Anthony Robles is a one of the most talented wrestlers in the history of Arizona State to win the NCAA individual wrestling championship despite being born with only one leg. He was born with only one leg and the other was vanished all the way from up to the hip. From the early childhood he bravely accepted the truth and started strengthening his body through consistent exercises. At the early age, while he was in school, he became a known face for attempting most pushups. Gradually he began wrestling and made a record for it and won two Arizona State wrestling championships in his junior and senior years at Mesa High School, in Mesa, Arizona. The initial stage of wrestling was not very easy for him; he battled, was defeated, and got frustrated but temporarily. The realization ‘I am UNSTOPABLE’ never let him down. Besides being an accomplished athlete, he is a motivational speaker and the author of the Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion, which is available from September 27th 2012.
