Born without one leg, Anthony has faced unique challenges since birth but has believed he can become unstoppable through perseverance and drive – so much so that he was an undefeated high school wrestler who became the NCAA Wrestling Champion in 2011. He shares how his mother inspired and motivated his excellence by instilling a mentality where he is always challenging himself to be better. But Anthony also says there are times where the will to prove naysayers wrong has been a motivating factor in his life as well.
