Leo Manzano on Poverty, Fortitude, and Success

Leo Manzano goes in depth with us about what it was like growing up in Granite Shoals in the Texas Hill Country as a poor Mexican American. He tells us how all of the struggle and hard work that came with this gave him a mental edge in running. He started competing in cross country and track at Marble Falls High and then at the University of Texas where he became the most decorated track and field athlete ever. He gives us inside perspective on what real challenges came his way, and how his fortitude helped him to a silver medal in the 2012 olympics.
