Unstoppable

From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion

De: Anthony Robles, Austin Murphy

Narrado por: Chike Chukwuma

The powerful and inspiring story of an all-American wrestler who defied the odds

Anthony Robles is a three-time all-American wrestler, the 2011 NCAA National Wrestling Champion, and a Nike-sponsored athlete. He was also born without his right leg. Doctors could not explain to his mother, Judy, what led to the birth defect, but at the age of five, the one-legged toddler scaled a fifty-foot pole unassisted. From that moment on, Judy knew without a doubt that her son would be unstoppable.

When Anthony first began wrestling in high school, he was the smallest kid on the team and finished the year in last place. Yet Anthony's family and coaches supported his decision to continue, and he completed his junior and senior years with a 96 - 0 record to become a two-time Arizona State champion.

In college, Anthony had to prove all over again that he could excel. Despite hardships on and off the mat—including the temptation to quit school and get a job to help his family when they lost their home to foreclosure - Anthony focused his determination and became a champion once again.

Since winning the national championship in March 2011, Anthony has become a nationally recognized role model to kids and adults alike. But Unstoppable is not just an exciting sports memoir or an inspirational tale of living with a disability. It is also the story of one man whose spirit and unyielding resolve remind us all that we have the power to conquer adversity - in whatever form.

Great Audible! Reader was good and story is amazing. A must read for wrestlers but inspiring for everyone:)

Amazing and Inspiring

Definitely a great read for those who are in school or college. This is also a very good book to assign in freshman HS English. It is easy, relatable, and gives the reader an understanding about hard work and gratitude.

Great detail in the decription of the wrestling matches.

I really enjoyed listening to the book, they describe the matches in great detail. Super inspirational, to hear of somebody with a challenging backstory, lift themselves up to the point of becoming a national champion.

Very inspiring

Easy to follow and very engaging! Anthony does a wonderful job telling his story and explaining wrestling!
