2016 Olympic Champion Cody Miller is becoming a youtube star. Cody Miller Adventures, his series, gives you everything you want with an inside look into the elite athlete lifestyle. He didn’t expect it to takeoff, but he’s happy it did. Cody’s a swim nerd and film nerd. He loves producing the series. For the short term, he’s not concerned about monetizing the series, but he feels it does adds value to his existing partners/sponsors. Cody’s already feeling the impact of the series. Kids come up to him at meets and only know him from the series.
Cody performance over 2017 was slightly off from his 2016 Olympic high. Cody opens about life, getting married, and putting swimming into perspective That’s what 2017 was about–figuring it all out. With the launch and success of his youtube series, Cody feel energized and ready for 2018. Summer U.S. Nationals is pivotal, determining who gets on the 2018 Pan Pacific and 2019 World Championship teams. Will Cody be ready? You tell me in comments.

Inflated sense of self-worth
Pretty good idea to be the star of your own life. How much is your self worth?
My self-worth is zero
well there ya go.
………….mine is less than zero…carrying an extra 15 pounds, hair is growing out my ears, my daughter’s a HS sr leaving home for college….. I watch Cody to be inspired.
…and Cody has back-hair. I hate back-hair bc I have been afflicted with it since college. Back-hair is the worst. It’s unsightly, you swim slowly in-season, and when you retire is grows like wild, uncontrollable weeds. So, I feel like Cody is in the family—a back-hair brother of sorts. #onemorereasontowatchcodymilleryoutubevids
You have made my day.
….shaving my back now. I have to shave it like I shave my face….or soak it in a chlorine bath (I mean my local public pool) to burn it all off
Watched his videos and I’m a fan. He seems like a really cool dude.
Yes…he’s a cool cat.
The main takeaways from these videos for me are, who wouldn’t want to be a teammate of this guy and who wouldn’t want to swim for Ray Looze? What a great training environment.
Best training partner in the world. Hands down.
Hey, your that guy
It’s an honor to upvote you.
Hey fam you aren’t so bad yourself lol ?
I think Cody is doing a great job with these videos. It’s something that USA Swimming should have been doing for a LONG time to help market the sport and its athletes.
totally agree with you and Mel on this one . I watched loads of his videos and i felt them so refreshing . I got to see other Olympians and his teammates at work – during training – and so much more . I truly love his passion for it .
I bet this helps a lot with his sponsorships
I’d chill out on saying “YouTube Star”.
Exactly,lol!
“Swimming Youtube Star” but even then I think Calvyn Justus started that
I change titles when I think the comments are correct in calling me out. I think you’re right. Cody’s not a huge youtube star pulling mainstream TV numbers (500k-million views)…..but I’m sticking by this title. Cody’s certainly a youtube star in the non-traditional or olympic sports niche—and he’s done it in short-order. I think he’s perfect to tell the insiders story of the Olympic journey too. He’s not a Phelps, Ledecky or Dressel. He’s on the cusp. He’s gotta work his butt off to make Team USA and get a podium position. We can take this journey with him, live the drama through his eyes because he is not a sure bet–but he’s funny, has a great point of view,… Read more »
You tell ’em Mel. With almost 3,000 views he has to be a star. Now if he can only swim legal breastroke.
