CLICK PICTURE for Audio
At the 2000 Summer Olympic Games, a determined Wyoming farm
boy defeated the greatest Olympic wrestler of all time in "The Miracle on
the Mat." Four years later, after a near fatal accident in the frozen
Wyoming wilderness, a tearful Rulon Gardner touched the hearts of sports fans
everywhere when he left his shoes on the mat, symbolizing his retirement after
winning an Olympic Bronze. Now, in a memoir for anyone who has dreamed about
beating the odds, for anyone who believes in blue-collar heroes, comes Never
Stop Pushing. A modern-day Paul Bunyan, Rulon Gardner grew up on his Mormon
family's dairy farm, where unceasing chores helped him develop tremendous
strength and stamina at an early age. He struggled in school due to learning
disabilities and was often the butt of his classmates' jokes. Yet Gardner found
success in wrestling, which allowed him to pursue his college degree and
instilled within him the confidence and drive that took him to the center of
world sport. Behind one of the greatest upsets in Olympic history is Gardner 's
moving tale of obstacles overcome by his indefatigable will to succeed.

basketball. After a standout career at Notre Dame, which included an appearance
in the 1978 NCAA Final Four, Hanzlik was a No. 1 draft pick of the Seattle

Assistant Coach with the Charlotte Hornets and the Atlanta Hawks before serving
as the Nuggets' Head Coach in 1997-98. He now serves as the full-time
Co-Founder and CEO of the Gold Crown Foundation in Denver and is the Color

At age 40,
after having undergone hip-replacement surgery, Dave Veres is hoping to restart
his pitching career with the Rockies. Veres has been out of baseball the past
two seasons
Allsportrating
wishes Dave a lot of success with the restart.
Dave Veres is hoping to restart his pitching career. At age
40. After having undergone hip-replacement surgery. With the Rockies. Veres has
been out of baseball the past two seasons. But after having the surgery in
March, Veres felt so good while playing city-league baseball in Castle Rock
that he contacted the Rockies. Veres has agreed to a minor league contract with
the Rockies, whom he pitched for in 1998 and 1999, with an invitation to major
league spring training. Veres hasn't pitched in the majors since 2003, having
spent the 2004 season trying to rehabilitate from right shoulder surgery. The
right-hander said he assured Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd he is serious
about resuming his career. "Dan's big concern was making sure there was no
residual effect (from pitching on the hip)," Veres said. "I told him
I'm not trying to eke out one more year. I want to pitch three, four more
years. My whole career has been built around challenging the odds. That doesn't
bother me." The Rockies do not comment on players whose contracts are not
finalized. Veres said the hip problem is what kept him out of baseball. He
initially tried losing weight and started an exercise program to alleviate the
pain. It didn't work. Veres contacted Dr. Peter Lammens of the Panorama
Orthopedics & Spine Clinic a year ago and underwent surgery in March. Bo
Jackson tried to resume his baseball career after undergoing hip-replacement
surgery, but his failed comeback bid was in the early 1990s. "There have
been a lot of advancements since then," Veres said. "The doctor
initially didn't know who I was. He asked me how I hurt my hip, and I told him
about pitching. He said, 'There's a chance you can pitch again.' I wasn't even
thinking about that. I was just hoping I'd be able to walk. "As time has
gone on, though, I have felt better and thought maybe I'd give it a shot."
Veres said the St. Louis Cardinals, whom he pitched for from 2000 to 2002,
expressed interest in giving him a tryout, but "my family and I both felt
the first choice would be the Rockies." Veres has been examined by Rockies
officials and has worked out at Coors Field to test the hip to see how it
handled the demands of getting prepared for the season. Veres has been throwing
on a regular basis, twice a day three times a week, in an attempt to be in top
shape by the beginning of spring training. "Most times, you take two
months off and get ready, but I had two years off, so I'm moving ahead,"
Veres said. "The more I throw, the stronger I feel." Veres would be
considered a long shot, but the Rockies know he is a quality person in the
clubhouse, and he was a quality pitcher when he previously was with them.
Veres' 31 saves in 1999 are tied for the third-best single-season total in
franchise history. In two seasons with the Rockies, Veres was 7-9 with 39 saves
and a 3.99 ERA. ringolsbyt@RockyMountainNews.com Copyright 2007, Rocky Mountain

Bobby Martin was born on November 3, 1987, with a
condition deemed by medical experts was the worse case of "Caudal
Regression Syndrome" they had ever seen or heard of, leaving him with no
legs.
Despite his condition and using no prosthetics, Bobby went on to receive
critical acclaim nationally for his accomplishments on the high school football
playing field. Bobby’s story transcends America’s most popular sport. It is
about his desire and perseverance to overcome obstacles, and achieve what few
thought was physically possible.
At the age of 2, Bobby’s father left him to be raised by his mother, Gloria in
a tiny, one story home in the inner city of Dayton, Ohio. Things were tough,
but Bobby received much love and support from his mother and two older brothers.
Born without legs, Martin -- a 3-foot-1-inch, 117-pound
high school football player -- quickly uses his hands to propel himself between
a flag-toting honor guard lining the 50-yard line. The coronation is sweet. The
new king stands tall. Martin is crowned, and his green-and-yellow No. 99
Cougars jersey is draped with a red cape that flutters in the wind,
Superman-like. It was specially tailored by Sharon Murphy, his consumer science
instructor at
\n \nMartin, plays on special\nteams and is a backup nose tackle who sees limited playing time. But\nwhen he does, he fearlessly propels himself with gloved hands, his\ntorso inches above the turf. He's agile and has tremendous arm\nstrength. He makes cobra-like tackles and is the last defense on\nkickoff returns.

Featuring: Kohl Benjamin, his
parents, & 3 Captains from the Douglas County H.S. Football Team!
We are privileged to feature real "Heroes Next Door" with
3 captains from the Douglas County High School Football Team, out of Castle
Rock, Colorado, along with Kohl Benjamin and his parents. While the Douglas
County football team was advancing to the Class 5A state semifinals, the
players found time to adopt an honorary member of the Huskies. Kohl Benjamin is
a youth league football player who was fighting his own battle. After he took a
hit at practice, the 8-year-old thought he had broken his arm. After further
examination, though, Benjamin was diagnosed with bone cancer. When the team
heard Benjamin wanted to meet the Huskies, they welcomed him and even made him
honorary captain at homecoming. Kohl's father, Randy, said the family has been
overwhelmed, calling the team's support "terrific and unbelievable."
Of particular note was when the Huskies got together in support of Kohl and
shaved their heads . . . right before senior pictures.
