It has been almost ten years since I last coached middle schoolers in the sport of wrestling. For several years, I coached wrestlers at a couple of different schools in central Indiana. People have often told me that they are impressed with all of the running I do on a soccer field, but I have always felt wrestling is a much more physically grueling sport.
What Anthony Robles accomplished last week at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships was just amazing. Despite being born with only one leg, Anthony Robles was crowned the D1 champ at 125 pounds. Wow. What has impressed me the most about Mr. Robles has been his attitude. Often, we are so lazy and make excuses in life, but here is a young man who has persevered despite having what some would call a physical limitation. I don't know exactly what Robles believes in, but I pray that God would use Him for His glory.
