I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.
You know I love to share inspirational sports stories with you and today is a whopper! It's about the Florida Athletic High School Hall of Famer Carl Joseph.
Joseph was a star athlete in high school in football, basketball and track and field. At 6’1” he could dunk the ball with authority, routinely blocked shots into the crowd, played on the defensive line in football, could throw a shot put 40 feet and won the high jump in a track meet clearing 5’10”.
Joseph then went on to play middle linebacker in college at Bethune-Cookman. He did all this, coming from a poor family on a tobacco farm with nine siblings and a single mother.
But that’s not what makes this story impressive. It's that Joseph did all of this on one leg. Joseph was born with one leg and he didn’t use a prosthetic leg for any sport. He literally hopped around on one leg, making tackles and blocking shots.
So what is holding you back?
