- 00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:11,011
- [cheering and shouting]
- 2
- 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,934
- [cheering and shouting get louder]
- 3
- 00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:19,853
- [whistle blows]
- 4
- 00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:33,616
- Yes!
- 5
- 00:01:08,068 --> 00:01:10,737
- My original name
- was Zion Zachariah Daniels.
- 6
- 00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:14,074
- I don't know exactly what Zion means,
- 7
- 00:01:14,157 --> 00:01:17,118
- but I know it's a mountain
- that's mentioned in the Bible.
- 8
- 00:01:17,202 --> 00:01:18,328
- A huge one, too.
- 9
- 00:01:18,828 --> 00:01:21,372
- So I figure it means,
- like, sturdy and strong.
- 10
- 00:01:28,296 --> 00:01:29,881
- I was born like this.
- 11
- 00:01:29,964 --> 00:01:32,050
- I haven't really known
- much of anything else.
- 12
- 00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:33,468
- This is normal to me.
- 13
- 00:01:36,387 --> 00:01:39,766
- Zion was 16 years old when I adopted him.
- 14
- 00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:46,147
- He just didn't have anybody.
- 15
- 00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:52,320
- [Zion] When I was born,
- my mother gave me up for adoption.
- 16
- 00:01:53,196 --> 00:01:55,240
- I haven't met my parents,
- but I really don't want to.
- 17
- 00:01:57,742 --> 00:01:59,994
- I lived in about seven or eight
- foster homes.
- 18
- 00:02:01,412 --> 00:02:03,790
- I got starved and beaten a lot.
- 19
- 00:02:07,293 --> 00:02:10,004
- But I'm not gonna lie,
- I wasn't a good kid.
- 20
- 00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:15,051
- Being through all that, I kind of had
- a bad attitude towards a lot of things.
- 21
- 00:02:15,927 --> 00:02:17,512
- [buzzer blares]
- 22
- 00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:20,306
- [Donahue] Wrestling's the oldest sport
- known to man.
- 23
- 00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:22,350
- It's been mentioned in the Bible twice.
- 24
- 00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:27,397
- It's basically two human beings
- imposing their will on one another.
- 25
- 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,648
- Move!
- 26
- 00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:32,527
- My name is Coach Donahue.
- I've been coaching wrestling for 25 years.
- 27
- 00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:36,698
- The first time I ever saw Zion
- 28
- 00:02:36,781 --> 00:02:40,410
- was when he was walking
- through the hallways with prosthetic legs.
- 29
- 00:02:42,453 --> 00:02:46,291
- The prosthetics were cutting
- into his feet, and he was being gashed.
- 30
- 00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,460
- He was forced to wear them.
- 31
- 00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:56,885
- [Zion] I felt like people were trying
- to make me look like everybody else
- 32
- 00:02:56,968 --> 00:02:58,678
- when I wanted to look like myself.
- 33
- 00:03:03,099 --> 00:03:06,561
- Like why take away me being on the ground
- where I'm used to something
- 34
- 00:03:06,644 --> 00:03:08,438
- and putting me up higher
- where I don't like it?
- 35
- 00:03:12,442 --> 00:03:13,902
- [laughing]
- 36
- 00:03:14,527 --> 00:03:18,406
- The fact that I can just get up and do
- everything a lot of people think I can't,
- 37
- 00:03:19,282 --> 00:03:20,575
- that made me angry.
- 38
- 00:03:21,284 --> 00:03:23,077
- I just wanted to be myself.
- 39
- 00:03:24,495 --> 00:03:26,164
- Yes, head control. Let's go!
- 40
- 00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:30,543
- [Donahue] When Zion came into the
- wrestling room, his prosthetics came off.
- 41
- 00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,296
- We only have our arms
- we have to wrestle and walk with,
- 42
- 00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:35,340
- so we have to be very careful,
- do you understand?
- 43
- 00:03:35,423 --> 00:03:36,299
- Yeah.
- 44
- 00:03:36,925 --> 00:03:38,509
- -Ready to rock and roll?
- -Yeah.
- 45
- 00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:41,387
- [Donahue] Let's go!
- Get to your stations! Let's go!
- 46
- 00:03:41,471 --> 00:03:43,097
- I want you moving.
- 47
- 00:03:43,556 --> 00:03:44,474
- Zion, let's go!
- 48
- 00:03:44,974 --> 00:03:49,020
- [Donahue] We made a technique
- around his body style and his abilities.
- 49
- 00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:53,900
- When he was wrestling,
- 50
- 00:03:53,983 --> 00:03:56,486
- he kind of forgot about a lot
- of the things he had to deal with.
- 51
- 00:03:56,569 --> 00:03:59,697
- Go as hard as you can
- for as long as you can.
- 52
- 00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:13,461
- People would discriminate against him,
- 53
- 00:04:13,544 --> 00:04:17,090
- other teams would look at him
- and make comments to other wrestlers.
- 54
- 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,385
- Let's go, Zion!
- 55
- 00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:22,595
- Come on, Zion!
- 56
- 00:04:22,679 --> 00:04:24,055
- Hand control.
- 57
- 00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:25,723
- Move. Pace.
- 58
- 00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:27,684
- [buzzer sounds]
- 59
- 00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:37,360
- [Donahue] He very easily could have just
- thrown it all in and been unsuccessful.
- 60
- 00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:41,114
- He could have been someone
- that got into trouble
- 61
- 00:04:41,197 --> 00:04:43,533
- because he had no family.
- 62
- 00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,369
- He had no stability in his life.
- 63
- 00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:50,081
- That was a recipe for disaster.
- 64
- 00:04:56,337 --> 00:04:59,799
- [Zion] I just decided I don't wanna feel
- like I'm weak or anything like that.
- 65
- 00:05:06,139 --> 00:05:06,973
- [grunting]
- 66
- 00:05:21,404 --> 00:05:23,781
- [Donahue] Come on! Come on, let's go!
- Get in there!
- 67
- 00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,491
- I wanna see that peak. Let's go.
- 68
- 00:05:27,285 --> 00:05:28,119
- Get in there!
- 69
- 00:05:28,202 --> 00:05:30,663
- Peterson, grab the wrist! Grab the wrist!
- 70
- 00:05:30,747 --> 00:05:32,915
- Lean back! Lean back! Lean back!
- 71
- 00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:34,542
- Nice job, Zion.
- 72
- 00:05:34,625 --> 00:05:36,169
- Nice job. [clapping]
- 73
- 00:05:36,252 --> 00:05:37,337
- Excellent.
- 74
- 00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,677
- [Zion] I was holding myself back
- from a lot of different things.
- 75
- 00:05:46,179 --> 00:05:49,682
- Then I started loosening up.
- I started to recognize I can do something.
- 76
- 00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:50,892
- [whistle blows]
- 77
- 00:05:54,854 --> 00:05:58,316
- Come senior year, I beat some
- of the best guys in the state of Ohio.
- 78
- 00:05:59,984 --> 00:06:03,404
- [Donahue] As he became more and more
- successful, he became embraced.
- 79
- 00:06:03,488 --> 00:06:06,282
- [chanting]
- 80
- 00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:12,330
- [back and forth chanting]
- 81
- 00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:13,748
- [cheering]
- 82
- 00:06:17,085 --> 00:06:19,712
- [Zion] I used to not talk to anybody
- or anything like that.
- 83
- 00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:22,090
- But then, like, after getting good,
- 84
- 00:06:22,173 --> 00:06:24,801
- it just gave me a lot of confidence
- with everything.
- 85
- 00:06:31,557 --> 00:06:33,059
- Stop taking pictures of us.
- 86
- 00:06:36,521 --> 00:06:37,688
- [cheering]
- 87
- 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,953
- [crowd shouting]
- 88
- 00:06:56,207 --> 00:06:57,333
- [whistle blows]
- 89
- 00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,419
- [Donahue] Zion ended up in the match
- to go to state,
- 90
- 00:06:59,502 --> 00:07:02,338
- so if he wins he goes,
- if he loses he does not.
- 91
- 00:07:04,006 --> 00:07:07,009
- He went into sudden death overtime
- and sudden victory.
- 92
- 00:07:08,344 --> 00:07:12,014
- You couldn't get any closer from going
- to the state tournament than Zion got.
- 93
- 00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:16,436
- I mean, it was kind of like holding on
- by a finger, that's how close it was.
- 94
- 00:07:22,024 --> 00:07:25,111
- Well, Jack Gorman ended up
- holding Zion down at the end.
- 95
- 00:07:26,571 --> 00:07:29,407
- Zion was so upset,
- he put his head down on the mat.
- 96
- 00:07:30,741 --> 00:07:33,870
- There was a standing ovation
- that was going on because of Zion.
- 97
- 00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:37,123
- He was crying so hard,
- he didn't even know.
- 98
- 00:07:37,206 --> 00:07:38,458
- [applause]
- 99
- 00:07:38,541 --> 00:07:40,626
- So I picked him up on my shoulder.
- 100
- 00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:47,175
- And I know I'm getting emotional, but...
- 101
- 00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:49,927
- it's been eight years
- that I've been with Zion,
- 102
- 00:07:50,678 --> 00:07:52,805
- and it was kind of, like...
- 103
- 00:07:54,098 --> 00:07:55,433
- the one thing that he got.
- 104
- 00:07:56,017 --> 00:08:00,104
- You know, he worked so hard
- and he thought he failed,
- 105
- 00:08:00,188 --> 00:08:04,192
- but he was one of the biggest successes
- that I've ever had, was Zion.
- 106
- 00:08:20,708 --> 00:08:22,335
- [Zion] That was at graduation.
- 107
- 00:08:23,252 --> 00:08:24,921
- He's like a dad figure to me.
- 108
- 00:08:27,048 --> 00:08:29,884
- This is our whole line-up.
- 109
- 00:08:29,967 --> 00:08:34,722
- This team was dubbed the best team
- that Massillon's seen since 1976.
- 110
- 00:08:35,431 --> 00:08:38,226
- This was my homecoming date.
- 111
- 00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:41,604
- I asked her to homecoming with a sign.
- It was really corny, but it worked.
- 112
- 00:08:42,647 --> 00:08:44,357
- That was really smart on my part.
- 113
- 00:08:44,732 --> 00:08:47,652
- Now she just thinks I'm annoying but cool.
- 114
- 00:08:49,612 --> 00:08:52,949
- [playing a pop ballad]
- 115
- 00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:13,886
- [Kimberly] Father God,
- I ask that you just remind him
- 116
- 00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:18,599
- that he is fearfully made in spite
- of what his physical being may be.
- 117
- 00:09:20,059 --> 00:09:23,062
- Continue to quiet the voices
- that may lie to him
- 118
- 00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:24,981
- and tell him about what he can't do.
- 119
- 00:09:25,314 --> 00:09:27,650
- Let him be a light in a dark place.
- 120
- 00:09:28,568 --> 00:09:32,613
- Father God, you know what it is
- that we stand in need of in this household
- 121
- 00:09:32,697 --> 00:09:35,199
- as far as his college and for his future.
- 122
- 00:09:36,367 --> 00:09:38,035
- [cheering]
- 123
- 00:09:38,911 --> 00:09:43,374
- I just ask that you bind your will
- to whatever it is,
- 124
- 00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:45,251
- the purpose that you have for him.
- 125
- 00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:47,795
- In Jesus's name, amen.
- 126
- 00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:50,339
- [applause]
- 127
- 00:09:57,013 --> 00:09:58,014
- Let's go!
- 128
- 00:09:58,097 --> 00:10:00,474
- [chanting]
- 129
- 00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:01,934
- -Zion!
- -[chant]
- 130
- 00:10:02,018 --> 00:10:03,269
- -Zion!
- -[chant]
- 131
- 00:10:03,352 --> 00:10:04,478
- -Zion!
- -[chant]
- 132
- 00:10:04,562 --> 00:10:06,564
- [chanting]
- 133
- 00:10:12,486 --> 00:10:14,238
- I just got to live it day by day.
- 134
- 00:10:14,322 --> 00:10:17,241
- I can't be looking too far in the past
- or I'll mess up now.
- 135
- 00:10:18,034 --> 00:10:21,954
- And the same thing with wrestling.
- You gotta take it one match at a time.
