00:00So why do you do this? Why do you wrestle?
00:05When people look at me, the first thing they see is what's missing.
00:12If I win, having one leg won't be the most important thing about me.
00:23The champ is here! Celebration dinner for Anthony!
00:27Your mom told me about that Drexel scholarship.
00:30Yeah, well I'm gonna keep my options open.
00:32When you could go to school for free?
00:33Hey, you heard what your son said? He's gonna keep his options open.
00:36Every big college has seen you wrestle. And so far, Drexel's the only one that made the offer.
00:41Have you heard from ASU?
00:42The best college wrestlers in the world go there.
00:44Anthony.
00:47The best I got to offer you is to walk on.
00:50I wish you the best, but I'm not into wrestling.
00:53Listen up, you're gonna have to beat out men who were recruited to be on the Arizona State University wrestling team.
00:58You're gonna have to prove everyone wrong just to make the team.
01:03Hey, sure you don't want to run track?
01:08You are six months behind on the mortgage.
01:10It's a perfect opportunity for Anthony to pitch in.
01:12I'm not letting him quit wrestling, and I'm not letting him quit school.
01:17I got you. I'm here.
01:19Anthony, your greatest opponent? Never gonna be somebody standing across from you on a mat.
01:27What's all this?
01:28Dear Mr. Robles, I'm in the third grade, and you are my hero.
01:32I wanted to tell you how much I look up to you.
01:38You make people believe in something.
01:40I'm surprised to see you. Don't be.
01:42When they see you, they don't see someone who's missing a leg.
01:47They see someone who is unstoppable.
01:56I'm not done yet.
02:00You can show them that anything is possible.
02:03Oh my God, is that guy missing a leg?
02:05That's my son.
02:08What, you're not gonna cheer?
02:11I used to be angry all the time, but I'm not angry anymore.
02:16So what are you?
