Daniel Roberts

How badly are you willing to fight for every place? For Daniel Roberts, he’s willing to put his body on the line if that will help him make the pass. Diving across the Olympic finish line to win the silver medal in the 110m hurdles, it wasn’t an accident. If there is one thing the former Kentucky Wildcat will always do, it’s prepare for the unexpected.

There are plenty of life lessons that can be learned from sport, and few better examples are more apparent than in the hurdles. Like all great athletes, Daniel has had his fair share of disappointing moments. Three straight tough global championships would have challenged even the strongest of soldiers to start questioning the process. 

Not D Rob! With his head down he tackled one challenge at a time and now has two international medals to show for his perseverance. But now the next line of Challengers are coming for him at Grand Slam Track.
