Receive Text UpdatesCodi lights up on the field—it’s where he feels most himself. He loves the grind, the discipline, the wins, but mostly the way sports give him a voice. He’s not the loudest kid, but when that ball’s in his hand, his commitment and passion speaks volumes.
Codi is inspiration. Adopted at 30 days old, labeled a failure to thrive, and counted out by doctors—but he proved them all wrong. Today, he’s a leader, a top student, and a relentless athlete. He’s not just chasing greatness—he’s living proof of it. He is inspiration because he came into this world with the odds stacked against him. Doctors saw weakness—he is strength. Codi has rewritten his story with grit, heart, and grace. Watching him grow is like witnessing a miracle.
Codi’s usually the smallest on the field, but that never defines him. One game, he got knocked hard—but instead of staying down, he bounced up, locked in, and made a game-changing play the very next down. That moment showed me his size isn’t in his body—it’s in his heart.
