COVID-19 Update & Motivational Resources
Amid this difficult and unprecedented time, I wanted to update all of my clients with where I stand regarding the COVID-19 situation. Schools are closing, presentations, conferences and gatherings are being cancelled.
When I speak to youth, I speak to them about the power of perseverance and how important it is to focus on the positive. So, at this time, I have decided to practice what I preach. Together, we will persevere through these uncertain times. And together, we can focus on the positive. For me personally, I am focusing on my family; keeping them safe and enjoying my extra time with them at home. I am also focusing on different ways I can reach youth with the messages in my programs during a time when these messages are needed more than ever.
I want all schools to know that I want to continue to work with them to think of ways I can be of service to youth to bring them messages of hope and being a positive influence. Whether that be through the use of technology, speaking to smaller gatherings, or other alternate arrangements.
I have decided to put together some free content for schools/parents/educators to use and for young people to enjoy to help them through these difficult times. These MOTIVATIONAL RESOURCES involve stories I don't normally share during my school presentations, lessons we can all learn from them, and some follow-up content to use after viewing.
Ultimately, I believe we can all get through this together. If we all work together to help one another persevere and focus on the positive, we will all end up better on the other side of this.
If any of my past, present or potential future clients want to reach out with questions or ideas of working together for our youth, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at bookcody@codydeaner.com. Stay safe everyone.

What people are saying...
|
At the age of 5, Cody had one goal… to one day wrestle in the same ring as his childhood heroes and become a professional wrestler. Despite living in a small, secluded, rural town, his smaller size, and a high school guidance counsellor who told him not to pursue a career in professional wrestling, Cody achieved his dream and eventually became a professional wrestling champion who has travelled the world living out his childhood passion.
Cody’s story involves struggles to overcome the temptations of drugs & alcohol while growing up with a home riddled with alcohol abuse and psychological disorders. It is a story of overcoming extreme adversity and the physical and mental hardships involved in making it in a world of giants, all while those around you tell you your goals are impossible. |
Today, Cody is seen on television in 150 million homes in 120 countries worldwide weekly on IMPACT Wrestling. He has shared his story with thousands of youth across North America. He gives back to the community through his “Giv’er for Charity” campaign and has raised thousands of dollars for various charities alongside his young adoring fans.
Cody uses the power of storytelling to teach important life principles such as:
Cody uses the power of storytelling to teach important life principles such as:
- "You can be whatever you want to be... if you put in the work!"
- "Positive motion creates positive emotion."
- "You don't have to be in the 'BIG TIME' to make a BIG DIFFERENCE."
- "Don't let the size of your town or others' expectations dictate the size of your dreams."
- "We all have the power of influence. We simply need to choose to be a positive influence."
- "Don't have a victim mentality. Focus on the positive rather than the negative."
- "We can't all be the biggest, the strongest, the fastest, or the most talented... but we can all JUST GIV'ER!"
- "Dare to dream BIG!"

Giv'er for Charity
In early 2018, Cody Deaner decided he wanted to give back to the many communities he has visited throughout his career. To give back, Cody started "Giv'er for Charity."
"Giv'er for Charity" is a fundraising campaign aimed at raising money for a variety of amazing Canadian charities. Cody partners with various charities who are in need of funds and want to increase the awareness of their cause. Cody helps them raise money by selling merchandise at his professional wrestling events and speaking engagements. Cody then donates 100% of the proceeds to the charity of choice.
Charities are chosen by Cody Deaner's extremely loyal fanbase, or Cody chooses the charity himself because the organization has a unique connection to a particular fan who has directly impacted Cody in a positive way.
