Theodore Roosevelt had severe asthma as a child and his family expected him to be weak. He taught himself to get stronger through improvised weightlifting with bricks, horse riding, and outdoor training. His story shows that determination can overcome physical limitations.

Theodore Roosevelt, one of my favorite examples. He's born with asthma. His dad, his family used to think he was gonna be a weakling. And this is before they had advanced treatments, you know, it's like 1800s. He decides, hey, I'm not gonna let this hold me back. Starts training outdoors, like weightlifting, working out before they had real weights, you know, he's lifting bricks or whatever he's lifting, riding horses. He overcame asthma through that.
