What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

He started developing his talents at 9 y/o with the goal of contributing to his hometown high school sports teams one day. Well now he has arrived! It is what prides him the most, competing under the Friday night lights in front of our entire community every week!


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Ryan has patterned his soccer game after the great Lionel Messi because of his unique play style and accolade achievements even wearing his #10 jersey on every club team he has played on! For football he has always aspired to play like the Legendary Ray Lewis. He has started at middle linebacker every year and he wore #52 throughout his youth football experience.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Ryan suffered a brutal injury in the championship game for his middle school ⚽️ team in 8th grade resulting in a broken arm that required surgery and metal plates. He was only able to join HS football week 1 of the season with one shriveled arm, he went out there and started every game eventually earning the DPOY award for JV and was promoted to Varsity by the end of the year as a Fr. When the coach handed him his Varsity letter I shed tears, he had accomplished the goal he set out for at 9 y/o
