If someone challenges himself athletically and intellectually as much as Robertson does, and shows as much determination as he does, he's going to succeed at whatever it is he pursues in life.  If Stanford can't see this, some deeper questions probably should be asked about who is Stanford material and who isn't.

Many students challenge themselves and have great determination. That doesn't mean they should all be admitted to Stanford.
