Success Stories

Grace Van Slooten
Michigan State Spartans

I recently finished my second off-season training with Ryan. Our first off-season together was amazing and helped prepare me for my time with Team USA and Oregon. I did not know what to expect in year 2 but Ryan found new ways to elevate my skill and athleticism. He pushes me to get the most out of my body and is extremely knowledgeable about basketball and performance in general.

Jerry Easter Sr: “Ryan has been more than just a trainer for Jerry. We are extremely grateful for his relationship that goes beyond the court with our son. Working with Ryan laid the foundation for Jerry to find success on the EYBL circuit. Jerry elevated his athleticism (vertical +3 inches) and has been injury free since working with Ryan.”

Connor Keefer
From JV to 2nd Team All District

Scott (Conners Dad): When Conner first went to Ryan it was out of desperation. Everything we did for my son seemed to not help him. From the first workout with Ryan I knew we were in the right place. Ryan is more than a trainer to my son and he has helped him in many ways. Conner’s athleticism improved immensely and he went from playing JV as a Junior to scoring 10 ppg on Varsity his senior season.

Jaedyn McKinstry
Louisiana Monroe

“Working with Ryan has been a great experience. He has pushed me to be a better athlete on and off the field and I have gained valuable knowledge that still impacts me even when I am with my team in Louisiana. My top speed increased from 18 mph to 20+ mph since we started working together.”

Josh Thorban
University of Findlay

I started training with Ryan during the off-season before my senior year of high school. Ryan helped me add 7 inches to my vertical. I couldn’t dunk before I started working with him and had 3 dunks in a game my senior year along with reaching 1,000 points and breaking the school record for most points in a game with 52. Ryan was a big reason that I was able to get a scholarship to the University of Findlay.

Carter Lowe
5 star, #3 lineman in US, OSU commit

Ryan has helped me to continue to improve my athleticism. When I first start with him I was slow, injury prone, and weak. He helped me in all of my weakest areas and helped me stay injury free last season.

Kosta Thrasivoulou
Trine Football, 4.5 to 4.4

When Kosta first began working with us his max speed was 21 mph and his 40 yard dash was 4.5 seconds. After 3 months of work he reached >22.5 mph, ran a 40 yard PR of 4.4, and ran a .99 10 yard split (ranks in top NFL combine metrics)

Sara Pahl
Grand Valley State University

I began training with Ryan in the summer before I went to GVSU. Ryan helped prepare me so that I went in to college in great shape and to be ahead of the curve compared to my teammates in my class. In addition, he helped me gain over 2 inches on my vertical after I finished playing High School.

Mike Edwards
Trine Football

When I first came to Ryan the fastest 40 yard sprint time I had ever gotten was a 4.7. After our first off-season I hit a new PR of 4.57 and in the next off-season ran a 4.48. In addition, Ryan helped me overcome nagging injuries that continuously held me back while playing in college.

Note from Head Coach Mike Schoen, “Ryan was instrumental in our success in the 2023 season, helping us reach the final 4 for the first time in 9 years. Ryan’s passion and attention to detail helped every member of our team become more confident and skilled on the court. We will continue to work with Ryan for the foreseeable future and view his service as a top priority for our program”

Ohio Buckets

Over the course of the past three years, Ryan has been a coach for the class of 2025 which has been a top ten team in the state of Ohio. During his time with Ohio Buckets, Ryan has hosted training camps to help bring out the best in each of his athletes.
