They saw a disability. Anthony Robles saw an opportunity– .and he’s got the medals (and scars) to show for it.

He was born without a right leg. Doctors had no answers. 

At five years old, he climbed a 50-foot pole by himself. 

By 22, he was an NCAA champion.

This is the story of Anthony Robles— a three-time All-American wrestler, the 2011 NCAA National Champion, and a Nike-sponsored athlete who turned every so-called “limitation” into a competitive edge.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, Anthony reveals the mindset that made him unstoppable: from walking into his first wrestling practice just to “see what he was capable of,” to breaking a Guinness World Record, building a speaking business, and becoming a powerful example for anyone chasing personal greatness.

We get into mental toughness, building a resilience game plan, the exact moment he nearly quit and the unexpected letters from a third-grade classroom that pulled him back in.

This isn’t inspiration for inspiration’s sake. This is a tactical, real-world masterclass in overcoming adversity, leveraging what you’ve got, and dominating in life— not just sport.

If you’ve got a list of excuses, this episode will tear it up and hand you a better one: a game plan.
