Koni Dole.
Koni Dole. He’s the MSU football player who ran onto the field a prosthetic leg. He’s the Home-Town hero of Huntley Project where him and his siblings were raised with that small town wherewithal that you get in small-town kids. I became really close buddies with Kong’s brother Kai and got to listen to stories of him growing up with Koni and getting into all the trouble they got into and the good times the've had. Kai would always speak of him, and light up with such endearment, that always left me hanging and I wanting to know more.
I had the opportunity to work out with Koni when he came to our gym there for a while. On the first day, he proceeded to mop the floor with me with a 345 lb deadlift. Mind you, he’s got one leg! It’s really not Koni’s one leg that makes him special. Koni and Kai are some of the happiest and most grateful people that I have ever met and we really get into where that comes from, as well as Koni's time spent with an organization called a NubAbility that instructs, inspires, and motivate kids who have either congenital or tragic amputations and really pushes that youth demographic to compete in mainstream sports.
Koni is an incredible human and I'd hope that everybody kind of has a chance to meet him someday. If if you ever get the opportunity to, I highly suggest you extend a hand and shake it and talk to him. He’d be happy to talk to you and he's one of those people that can light up anybody's day. He’s an incredible person, I really hope you guys enjoy this!
