They saw a disability. Anthony Robles saw an opportunity– .and he’s got the medals (and scars) to show for it.

He was born without a right leg. Doctors had no answers. 

At five years old, he climbed a 50-foot pole by himself. 

By 22, he was an NCAA champion.

This is the story of Anthony Robles— a three-time All-American wrestler, the 2011 NCAA National Champion, and a Nike-sponsored athlete who turned every so-called “limitation” into a competitive edge.

In this “Success for the Athletic-Minded Man” episode, Anthony reveals the mindset that made him unstoppable: from walking into his first wrestling practice just to “see what he was capable of,” to breaking a Guinness World Record, building a speaking business, and becoming a powerful example for anyone chasing personal greatness.

We get into mental toughness, building a resilience game plan, the exact moment he nearly quit and the unexpected letters from a third-grade classroom that pulled him back in.

This isn’t inspiration for inspiration’s sake. This is a tactical, real-world masterclass in overcoming adversity, leveraging what you’ve got, and dominating in life— not just sport.

If you’ve got a list of excuses, this episode will tear it up and hand you a better one: a game plan.

There's a particular drive that comes from a background in sports, a mindset forged in competition and discipline that doesn't just switch off when you leave the field. Success for the Athletic-Minded Man taps directly into that energy, translating the core principles of athletic performance into tools for everyday life. Host Jim Harshaw, Jr. understands that the same clarity needed to execute a game plan, the focus required in a critical moment, and the consistency of daily practice are the exact traits that define winning in business, relationships, and personal health. This isn't about finding more hours in the day; it's about applying a strategic, trained approach to all of it. Each episode feels like a conversation with a coach who's been in your shoes, addressing the real tension between ambitious career goals, being a present father and partner, and maintaining physical fitness without letting any single priority suffer. You'll hear practical discussions on management, self-improvement, and the mental frameworks that help you stop shortchanging the areas that matter most. The podcast moves beyond theory, offering actionable insights for men who aim to build a life of sustained achievement, where success is measured across the board, not just on a scoreboard.
