What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreRyder always wants to be outside. Playing on any field is where he is most confident. He has to work really hard to maintain his grades in school but sports come natural to him. He played coed softball in a benefit for fallen first responders with a local police department and won the praise of the adults he played against. (He is only 12) Just give him a ball and he is at his happiest and best.
His Uncle Blake is a police officer and Ryder started training with him when he was 2. Blake was going to the police academy and his workouts were fierce. Ryder turned tires and did sit-ups and anything Blake had to do.
Ryder has scored touchdowns and hit in the park home runs. He finally hit 2 out of the park home runs this year. He is small to be 12 but he will run down and tackle anyone on the football field. I can’t just pick 1. I am so proud of everything he does.
