For the first time this year we had the pleasure of Ryan coaching our son's City League Baseball team.

For the first time this year we had the pleasure of Ryan coaching our son's City League Baseball team. We'd heard rumblings on how patient he is with younger athletes, especially those who have a lot of grit in them and are hard on themselves and some days more challenging to coach. Ryan exceeded our expectations. He cares about his players, sees the absolute best in them and fosters a positive, encouraging team culture.

Ryan has been amazing with our son. He is kind and tough, all in one. He is very good with the kids and teaches them what they need to work on. He talks to them as a person and takes the time with each child. He works with them and explains things to them on their own level. The kids all look up to him and value what he tells them. I will
Ryan has been amazing with our son. He is kind and tough, all in one. He is very good with the kids and teaches them what they need to work on. He talks to them as a person and takes the time with each child. He works with them and explains things to them on their own level. The kids all look up to him and value what he tells them. I will say, he is like a 2nd Dad to all of these boys he works with. They take to heart what he has to say. I can tell my son he did good, or what he has to work on, but unless it comes from Ryan, it doesn't mean as much. Thank you Ryan for everything you do for these kiddos. They appreciate it more than you know.

Ryan has been absolutely excellent in our son's one on one sessions. His approach is a great mix of correction and encouragement. We have been very pleased with these instructional times. Most of all, and the best measurement is, our son looks forward to each and every session he gets, and is excited before and after. This is due to Ryan's ability to get him to make adjustments in mechanics that will benefit him not only now but as he goes forward in baseball as well as other sports. So huge thank you to Ryan, we would recommend Ryan to any and all, if you want to see improvement.

We wanted to give a shout out to to Coach Ryan at Hitters Depot for working with our daughter this preseason. At our daughter's young age we didn't know how much she would comprehend during a lesson, but after the first one, she wanted to go back for more. Ryan broke things down for her and made lessons both fun and educational. He took her interest in dancing and related it to the ball field. She started off her season never hitting off a pitching machine. Now, not only can she hit, but she is aware of things she should correct if needed. We were very impressed with all of the knowledge and skills she gained from her lessons. We can't thank you enough Coach Ryan.
