  • When dealt with a physical difference, teen decides to move forward and works harder to excel.
  • 16-year-old High School Junior Colin Moore recently cleaned 165 pounds at the gym which caught the attention of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
  • Colin is taking Kelce up on his offer to attend a training and who knows where it will lead to?

For some, having an incomplete right arm could mean a life of pessimism.  But for 16-year-old High School Junior Colin Moore, it means choosing to excel every day to show there is hope even without it.

He worked hard to be fast and strong and ended up in his high school’s football team as starting center.

Colin said, “I’ve always had to have a mind of steel, heart of gold, and just move forward no matter what.” 

His workout and rigorous weight training has given him upper and lower body strength for his game.  With a limb missing, he just makes up for it with speed and strength.  It also paved the way for him to get the attention of Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.

In an interview with Kelce, WPVI-TV Reporter Jamie Apody shared a video of Colin’s new personal record of 165 pounds at the gym. Kelce had a special message of encouragement for Colin!

“I just got done watching that video … you are an inspiration, brother. You are an inspiration to me … And I got to tell you, I think I speak on behalf of the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line… we would love to invite you down to training camp brother. I need to meet you. We need to meet you. We need that energy to rub off on us this year. It would be our honor for you to come by, Colin. Please. Love the way you work, love that energy. Keep on keeping on, brother.”

It was such a thrill for Colin and absolutely inspiring!  How can he not say yes?  And so, a training session with the team is in the works.

We are rooting for you, Colin!
