How an NFL Player Deals with Failure

About The Podcast

Cody Hollister has two parents who’ve loved and supported him, a twin brother with whom he has an unshakeable bond—and, oh yeah, a seven-year NFL career, one that includes a Super Bowl ring won as a member of the 2018 Patriots. But even with all these blessings, Cody has faced his share of challenges, from struggling to catch on with a college team to being a child of divorce. Cody talks with Nate Dewberry this week about how he’s persevered through difficulties and setbacks, and how building community at his church has helped him find a sense of freedom from past failures.
