Cory discusses facing pressure from his father to pursue wakeboarding from a young age, though he initially disliked it. He began traveling overseas to train at ages 13 and 14, finding early success. While uncomfortable at the time, he is grateful for his father's pushing.

Balancing encouragement and friendship is challenging but important for supporting others' growth.
