A keynote address by Anthony Robles, a motivational speaker, author, and NCAA Division I Wrestling Champion kicks off the educational programming. Born with a congenital condition that left him without a right leg, Anthony defied all odds to rise to the top of his sport. For example, he has won three All-American titles and received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at the 2011 ESPYs!
In his keynote address, Anthony will share his moving, awe-inspiring story of perseverance, resilience, and grit. His presentation, “Unstoppable: Turning Challenges Into Triumphs,” offers powerful insight into how embracing limitations can lead to unexpected advantages. With warmth and humor, he will discuss how his mindset carried him through adversity—and how it can help self-storage professionals push past barriers. Anthony’s message of hope, focus, and the power of hard work sets the tone for an event centered around transformation and opportunity.
