Anthony Robles' 'unstoppable' drive


On March 19, in Philadelphia, at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship, Anthony Robles was a national champion, wrestling at 125 pounds for Arizona State. He was missing his piernita. His leg.

Anthony Robles finished his 2010-11 senior season 36-0, and he beat the defending national champion, Matt McDonough, of Iowa, in the final, and he was named the tournament's outstanding wrestler. And July 13, at the 2011 ESPYS, he will accept the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance.

Jimmy V. is the man who at the very first ESPYs said, "Don't give up. Don't ever give up."

Anthony Robles will have his own speech Wednesday. It has a theme: "Unstoppable," he says. "You can be unstoppable." Those in attendance, those watching on television, will see it in him, when he gives this address.
