Ryan and I worked together at the University of Texas. He worked on the strength and conditioning side of our program. He was a very hard worker, always making himself available to our players whenever they needed it. Ryan is genuine and passionate about working with athletes and helping them get better. Also, very knowledgeable yet motivated to continue to learn as much as he can about his craft.
Ryan really made 2 years of college strength and conditioning better. He related with us as players and kept us focused when necessary. He helped a lot of guys establish routines that never had routines.
