Anthony Robles’ journey is a testament to the phrase “never quit,” proving that true strength lies in heart and determination.

In this episode you will hear:
• My mom always told me growing up that God made me this way for a reason. (3:26)
• Every single challenge I’ve faced was a puzzle. I could figure it out. There’s nothing that I couldn’t do. (3:35)
• She [My mom] would say “You never let a challenge become an excuse to say I can’t do it.” (6:15)
• I had frustration and rage in me, but I was able to channel that, and use it for wrestling. (7:43)
• If I quit now, I’m proving a lot of people right. (7:56)
• I don’t know where I’d be right now without those individuals who did support me. (12:19)
• My goal in my junior year was nothing but state champion. (13:26)
• I received a stack of letters from a group of 3rd graders who were shown the movie. They were writing me as their hero of the week. That, for me, opened my eyes to finally understand that I was wrestling for a bigger cause and a bigger purpose than just a bracket or a medal to put around my neck. (22:05)
• I don’t want to look back with regret thinking “Man, I wish I had done more.” (26:57)
• I want my son to look up to me and say “I want to be like my dad one day.” (27:25)
• [My mom] was the best coach I could have ever asked for in my life. (31:21)
• My message is the word “Unstoppable”. It’s the fact that we all wrestle with a challenge, (39:10)
• If you’re unchallenged, you’re unchanged. (39:50)
• [Marcus] “Man, you don’t have a message – you ARE the message.” (40:07)
• Greatness is not measured by trophies; it’s not measured by getting first place. It’s just knowing you gave your very best. (42:03)
