WHAT HIS COACH SAID

In the time I have come to know Ryan very well as both a student and an athlete. I am pleased to say that he brings the same level of effort and dedication to activities both on and off the court. As an athlete, Ryan is focused and determined, often practicing countless hours a week on his own time just to stay in peak physical shape. However, he still has a sense of friendliness and fair play, often treating people courteously even when teammates start to get rough or the opposing team begins to foul. Ryan’s healthy perspective and cheerful demeanor have made him a favorite on the team since he’s joined. Ryan puts the same amount of hard work into his studies as he does into the game. He has kept a 4.0 GPA while also participating frequently in church events and community services. I’ve rarely had the pleasure to coach such a promising and gifted student.
