He practiced with them daily, he provided guidance from his experience, he studied their strategies for hints to help them succeed.As well as wrestling four years, he played football. As in wrestling, he took on a leadership role his senior year in football. His coach could count on him to encourage his teammates and push for the extra yard. Cody proves that “the size of the heart is more important than the size of the body."
