Anthony Robles.... an amazing young man........
« on: March 24, 2011, 05:53:56 AM »
Anthony Robles is a Senior at Arizona State. He just won the NCAA Wrestling Championship in the 125 lb. weight class. My son and I watched this young man win this title and we were in absolute awe.

Please watch this and then the next time you need a little inspiration remember this fine young man.

I cannot imagine the fortitude of this young man. To take the mat and wrestle would be admirable in and of itself. He is THE National Champion. And this match was no fluke. When I followed your link to the championship match I also watched some of his other matches. Yeah, he has upper body strength but he also has unbelievable technique.

I just learned that now that he has graduated that he will be going on tour doing professional speaking.  He will continue to be an inspiration to others!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

We can only hope and pray that our own children grow up to be such fine young people.
