The sport of wrestling runs deep within Jim Dutrow's life. More impressive is his mindset in response to 2 major setbacks: choosing to wrestle in college only after losing in the state finals as a senior & creating a movement to raise awareness & support the growth of wrestling after several colleges including his own dropped their program. His experiences of determination, community & gratitude are shaped by his love for the oldest sport.

7 years ago, Hilton Carter was chasing his goal of becoming a filmmaker when he walked into a garden café for lunch. At that moment, he felt a sense of relaxation, release and calm wash over him.

Before joining the military, he ran the mile in 21 minutes and did only 13 pushups in 1 minute. When he deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, he learned you couldn’t prepare for the one thing that will really happen. After an IED caused the loss of both legs and extreme right hand damage, he realized he wasn’t “untouchable.” However through fitness, he learned that he sets his own limits, not have them set for him. Jason Smith teaches us that, “It’s your choice what happens next.”
His recognitions are endless. Some are surprised. He's not. He set a goal in 5th grade to go pro.

You’ve seen the movie “Rudy”, but now hear from the man himself. When his family saw his inadequacies, he saw his own potential. When teachers focused on his learning disabilities, he focused on his effort. When everyone was surprised to see him take the field for Notre Dame, he expected to be there. Rudy never saw himself as different, he never asked for permission, and he never quit. He just got better!
