"Cody has been a great coach for me! He recruited me to join a program where he wanted accountability and service to be at the heart of who we are. He taught be so much about the game and constantly related the game to what life is like. He employed a staff that were balanced and worked well together to support us. I always felt like I was learning and getting better at the sport and developing as a person under Cody's leadership. He was always available to us players and would talk with us through any problems we were having whether that was soccer related or not. His belief in his players is always clear for those that chose to hear it, unfortunately not everyone wanted to be coached or accountable on our team. He is a great coach, leader, and mentor!"

"Cody is the best coach I’ve ever had. He believed in me and our team. He pushed us to learn more about the game and stretched our limits as players to show us we are more capable than we give ourselves credit for. He supports you on and off the field, and holds you accountable for academics. Decisions were always collective involving coaching staff and player leadership. 100% would play for him always."

"Cody took over a full program of men's, women's, and youth teams and turned the entire ship around. Before Cody, the best summarization of the program was "a band of misfits with no direction" He took players from all differing levels of the game, from kids being forced to play by parents to college athletes who live and breath soccer, and taught them more than I ever could have imagined. Not just about soccer (although his knowledge and love of the game is massive), but more importantly about life and how to grow as a person. He took time out of his day to care for every single player and parent in the run down program that he found himself leading. Apart from the regular "on the pitch" coaching duties, Cody took pride in the responsibility that he had to improve the life and character of each and every player under his name. I owe much of who I am as a person to Cody and the lessons he taught me over the four years I played for him. Lessons about adversity, success, and everything in between. He was not a coach that would let you sulk and shy away from your mistakes. Instead, Cody pushes you to be humble and own up to your shortcomings and flaws so that you can grow from them. He will never allow his players to hide behind timidness and pride to shirk their responsibility to grow as a person. It is a difficult task to face and grow from your flaws and failures but it is made much easier when you have a coach like Cody on your side."

"Cody was my club and high school coach throughout middle and highschool. He was motivational, dedicated, and compassionate. Without him I wouldn’t have been able to achieve my dream of playing collegiate soccer "

"I think that Cody is one of the best coaches I have ever had!! He’s the reason why I came to midland, and I have never regretted my decision! After my second season at a previous school I was about to quit soccer because of many reasons but he gave me hope and so much trust that I was able to enjoy playing soccer again which I hadn't been able to experience for at least a year. Cody had taught me so much in so little time and I am so thankful that I had him as my coach. I respect Cody so much as a coach and a person, and I will never forget how much time and effort he put in every day!! I am just very thankful for the opportunity he gave me!!"

"I am so grateful for the chance to of been coached by Cody. He’s had the most positive influence in me as a player that I have ever had from a coach. He is extremely knowledgeable in the soccer world, he taught me everything I know. Really cares about his players and their well-being. Most dedicated coach I’ve ever met! "

"I chose this university in America because of Cody. I could see his philosophy, commitment and knowledge for this sport and the team right from our first conversation. I am very grateful to him for trusting me and helping me on and off the field and especially with my injury and always being there for me. I can always count on Cody. A lot of people never really realized it, but I appreciated how much time he sacrifices for this team and additionally do off the pitch, even though he doesnt have to. I have learned so much from him and he's definitely been the best coach I have ever experienced. I have grown not only as a footballer but also as a person because of his mentoring. "

"Coach Bartlow took a chance on me as a player and wanted to work with me and make sure that I could reach my full potential on and off the pitch. I found him encouraging in the sense that he wanted to work on the little things so that bigger issues didn't always feel so big. He had a major impact on my outside of soccer life. I learned how to stand up for myself and fight for what I know is right for me. He has always supported my decisions and wanted me to succeed. I personally have never had a bad experience with Cody, nor has my skills suffered. I have grown and learned so much while being his player. He always wanted our team to fight for one another and share the strongest bonds and create the FAMILY environment. I have never had more fun or more confidence on the pitch then when I played for Coach Bartlow. "

"Cody is the best coach I have ever had. I recommend him to anyone he knows so much about soccer and family is the most important thing to him and i value that extremely much. He cares about players well being and personal state and he knows how to win and how to play the game well "

"Cody has been a tremendous coach for our daughter. He has cared about our daughter as a person and player. He preaches culture and lives out his culture on a daily basis. He is extremely knowledgeable about the sport and cares for the girls. He plays the players that are performing and best help the team regardless of class or scholarship level. A great coach."
