Kyle Cochran shows bravery. He shows bravery because he competed in ANW (American Ninja Warrior) in 2012, but did not succeed. Kyle persevered as a Type 1 Diabetic for about 20 years now. Kyle would not let diabetes turn him down, but he embraced it, trained harder than ever, plus not letting this disease get in his way. Secondly, Kyle Cochran's dedication inspires many. Kyle Cochran was going to compete in the 2011 season, and started training, but during training tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus. After healing for a fair amount of time he started doing easier workouts to let himself heal. Now Kyle practices daily in weights, ropes, and cardio. When Kyle Cochran was on American Ninja
Warrior, he learned as a Junior at San Diego State University. And made time between classes to practice for American Ninja Warrior

Lastly, Kyle Cochran's kindness to help children with Type 1 Diabetics around the world inspires. Though Kyle did not win American Ninja Warrior, he still tells about his scores and appreciates them. "I wouldn't be able to do anything that I do without God. He inspires me more than anything. Both of my parents are super-supportive. I have one younger sister who just turned 2. We are super-close, basically best friends. I have the most amazing family. I have had a number of people recognize me. It's a little strange but it's fun. I've had a lot of people contact me on Facebook, saying I inspired them. That's one of the big reasons I did the show." says Kyle Cochran to www.DiabetesForecast.com. Kyle Cochran wants to inspire kids to not use the disease as an excuse to get out of doing anything active. Kyle encourages diabetics to follow their dreams, Type 1 Diabetes should not give you an extra pass to get out of doing things Even if you have a disability or disease, do not let it stop you from following your dreams. No matter how big, or how small your dreams become, anything is possible. Therefore go follow your dreams as Kyle Cochran did.
