Anthony Robles: From Underdog to Unstoppable, A Story of Resilience

There are few examples of resilience and perseverance better than Anthony Robles. Born with one leg, Robles refused to see limitation. Instead, he saw opportunity – and turned that belief into an NCAA Wrestling Championship, 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, and despite 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 major movie 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.
