Author & NCAA Champion Anthony Robles at Viridian Event Center

Author & NCAA Champion
Anthony Robles
at Viridian Event Center

Salt Lake County Library is pleased to welcome NCAA Champion and author Anthony Robles to the Viridian Event Center on Thursday, October 25 at 7:00 p.m. for discussion and signing of his new book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion.

Anthony Robles is a three-time all-American wrestler and the 2011 NCAA National Wrestling Champion. 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.

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.

Meet the author and hear his remarkable story. Presented in partnership with the Utah Humanities Book Festival. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
