Would you believe that someone could win the national college championship in wrestling with a record of 36 wins and zero losses? Most people will admit this is possible. But what if I told you that this potential champion has a birth defect, he only has one leg. Would that affect your response? It would for most of us, but not for an athlete named Anthony Robles.

Anthony Robles obviously doesn’t believe that having one leg is a good excuse to not do something. What many people would believe to be impossible, Anthony believed was possible, and what few wrestlers believe they could do with two legs, Anthony believed he could do with one. The affect our beliefs have in our lives is astounding.

While a majority will concede that such accomplishments are possible in the abstract, few would say so if they themselves were afflicted with such a condition. How many would even consider getting involved in a sport (let alone the sport of wrestling) let alone competing in high school and college championships? How many would more readily use a wheelchair instead of crutches?Anthony Robles obviously doesn’t believe that having one leg is a good excuse to not do something.
