What does it really take to become a World Champion?

According to World Champion bull rider Cody Custer, talent will only take you so far. In this episode of Ride Rope Rodeo, Cody and I talk about the discipline, work ethic, sacrifice, and boundaries it takes to compete at the highest level in rodeo.

From choosing the right people to influence you, to doing the work when you don’t feel like it, Cody shares why the choices you make outside the arena have a direct impact on your confidence, mindset, and performance inside it.

But this conversation goes deeper than rodeo. Cody shares honestly about his faith, the highs and lows of his bull riding career, the hard seasons of his life, and what he learned when he stepped outside some of the boundaries that had once kept him grounded. Whether your goal is a World Championship or simply becoming the best athlete and person you can be, this episode is a powerful reminder: winning takes more than talent. It takes discipline—and a willingness to protect what matters most.

What happens when you stop trying to figure it all out on your own and intentionally put yourself around people who can help you elevate your game?

This week on Ride Rope Rodeo, I sit down with Cason Kingsbury, who didn’t start roping until he was 17—and five years later, he’s competing on the PRCA rodeo trail. In this episode, we talk about the work behind that climb: running hundreds of calves, riding countless horses, learning from world champions, getting beat, showing back up, and developing the mindset to keep going.

We dig into training, performance, mindset, horsemanship, work ethic, and coachability—and why the people you allow to influence you can play such a huge role in your game.

Because getting better isn’t just about working harder. It’s about getting around the right people, staying coachable, and being willing to do the work.

If you've ever wondered what separates the good athletes from the great ones... this episode is for you.

Talent is a gift. But at some point, talent isn’t going to be enough.

As you move forward in rodeo, the competition gets tougher. Everybody can rope. Everybody can ride. Everybody has talent. So what starts to separate the good athletes from the great ones? A whole lot of it comes down to preparation.

In this episode, Chase and I sit down and talk about what real preparation looks like—from your training, consistency and horsemanship to studying your craft, paying attention to the smallest details and developing a mindset that can handle pressure when it’s time to compete.

Because better performance doesn’t just happen when the pressure is on. It’s built in the practice pen, at the barn, in the little decisions nobody sees and in the work you’re willing to keep doing over and over again.

If you want to compete at the next level, don’t just rely on your talent. Learn to prepare for where you want to go.

What happens outside the arena matters.

In this episode of Ride Rope Rodeo, I sit down with my lifelong friend and breakaway roper, Kacey Kobza, to talk about resilience, adversity, and the mindset it takes to keep moving forward in rodeo and in life.

We talk about how the discipline and work ethic we build outside the arena directly impact what happens inside it, why you have to learn to take care of the controllables, and how to move forward after a bad run, setback, or tough season.

Kacey also shares her powerful story of battling Hodgkin's lymphoma at a pivotal time in her rodeo career and what that experience taught her about fighting, faith, and learning to pivot when life doesn't go according to plan.

If you're a rodeo athlete, competitor, parent, or coach, this conversation will challenge you to stop dwelling, stop comparing, and start building the resilience you need for whatever comes next.

The work outside the arena is what prepares you for what happens inside it.
