When it comes to hockey Ryder loves the speed of the game and stopping the pucks in such a talented way. Baseball he can catch any ball that comes to him. He is a very fast runner and usually for one of the smallest players he hits those homeruns. He is always encouraging his team mates and they love to sing the chants and cheers.
Ryder inspiration in being an incredible goalie is his dad. His dads talents have definitely helped ryder gain his love for what he does. He never gives up and gets down on himself. His sportsmanship is so infectious. In ball his mom is his coach and she pushes talent out of him to keep him engaged and constantly smiling. His skills on the field show how dedicated he is to his own love for himself and his team.
Of course there are so many moments that burst a parent's heart. However the moment he caught 3 glove saves from older kids that were intimidating coming down the ice at him. Watching him butterfly old school is the best feeling in the world. During ball the proudest moment was watching how well thier year end tournament ended with a gold win. Seeing him play for 6 hours straight because they kept winning and his stamina and positive attitude made me so proud.
