Bannon recognized his potential and helped him get proper coaching. - Dr. Bell excelled in track and field, joining the Indiana University team and winning a gold medal in the long jump at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. - His Olympic victory allowed him to meet influential people, including Muhammad Ali. - Inspired by Dr. Bannon, he pursued a career in dentistry. - Despite facing discrimination, Dr. Bell remains proud of his achievements and his American identity. Frank Staebler's story also exemplifies dedication and success: - A three-time wrestling world champion, Staebler won his last gold in 2018 in Budapest. - He trained intensely, sometimes up to ten times a week. - His training took place in a hen house, once used by his grandfather to raise chickens.
