Judy Robles was 16 when she found out she was pregnant with her first child, who would later be born with only one leg.

Adair couldn’t have known then, but that injury headed her down a path that would eventually lead her to become the women’s basketball coach at ASU. “People often ask me if I would change what happened,” she said. “No. It made me who I am.”
