The NARS Group is gearing up for our National US Conference in Atlanta! We're both privileged and excited to announce that
Anthony Robles will be our guest speaker for this event. A shining pillar of overcoming adversity, Anthony was born to an unwed, 16 year old mother. Making matters even more complicated, he was born missing his right leg. Determined not to let this hold him back, he began wrestling at age 14. Weighing in at only 90lbs, he finished in last place at his city wrestling tournament. Not one to be defeated, with the support and love of his family and coaches, he set the goal of becoming a champion wrestler. In spite of his obvious and varied obstacles he worked through the his challenges and finished his Jr and Sr year with a 96-0 record, 2 Arizona state championships, and one national title. Even with such an incredible background, few colleges believed he could excel at the next level. Ignoring the nay-sayers, Anthony believed he could do anything he set his mind to. He was a walk-on for the Arizona State Wrestling team. Anthony astounded his critics and finished as a 3 time All-American and with an NCAA national title. Anthony will he joining us to share his inspirational story, advice, and indomitable spirit. We can't wait to hear what has to say!

"Every soul who comes to earth with a leg or two at birth must wrestle his opponents knowing its not what is, but what can be that measures worth. Make it hard, just make it possible and through pain, I wont complain. My spirit is unconquerable. Fearless I will face each foe for I know I am capable. I don't care whats probable, through blood sweat and tears I am unstoppable."
