Achieving Goals: Don't Put Limits On Yourself Part 2

In a recent post found here I talked about how it is amazing what the mind can get the body to do when one doesn't set limitations.  This post will feature a similar video.  Instead of a girl with one arm becoming a champion surfer, the video below features a wrestler born without a leg winning the NCAA National Wrestling Championship at the 125 pound weight class in 2011.

 
Enjoy the video and I hope it inspires you! 

P.S. the name of the wrestler is Anthony Robles.  His wrestling career started in the 8th grade and as a freshman finished 5-8.  However, he worked hard and finished his high school career as a two time State Champ and went 96-0 in those two years and 129-15 overall.[1]

Despite not being recruited by top programs like Iowa and Oklahoma State, Anthony went 25-11 as a freshman, 29-8 as a sophomore, 32-4 as a junior and 36-0 as a senior where he ironically beat an Iowa wrestler for the national title.  He finished his career at Arizona State University as a 4-time NCAA National Tournament Qualifier, 3-time Pac-10 Champ, 3-time All American and a National Champion.[1]
