Had the world not been turned upside down by a pandemic, maybe Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs would have chatted with Dathan Wickson Jr. for a moment or two, taken a couple of photos with the high school wrestler.
Instead, Burroughs has been able to really get to know the teenager and learn his story – a story Burroughs believes the whole world should hear.
“You might not see yourself as a leader, you might not see yourself as a motivational individual. But your story is inspiring and when people hear it, they’re going to love it,” Burroughs told Wickson on Thursday morning.
