Ryan D.

Liz (CoachUp client)

I hired Ryan for my 13yo son before his Vegas tournament and this is my son’s review, “Ryan is unlike most coaches I’ve had in the past! During the first session he immediately started analyzing my strengths and weakness, and soon came to the conclusion on working on my shot. He started by teaching the basics of a “shooter form”. Through some repetition and amazing coaching, he brought the realization of all the mistakes I previously had while shooting. At the end of the session not only was i able to learn how to become a better shooter, but he also taught me drills I could do during my free time. Would highly recommend!”

Had a great first session with Ryan. As a beginner he is patient to teach the fundamentals of shooting, dribbling, etc. and caters coaching sessions based on your goals. Will definitely book him again for future sessions!

Bre (CoachUp client)

I did a lot of research to find the right coach for my 4 year old daughter and I’m stoked about Coach Ryan. He was discipline, structured but also fun and followed the attention span of a little kid. My daughter is excited and so are we as two former athlete parents!

Bora (CoachUp client)

My 6 years old boy and 8 years old girl love the lesson!
Coach Ryan is a great coach! He taught my kids many things which included dribbling, shooting, and endurance. After the several lessons my kids were noticeably better..
Great starts learning basket ball with coach Ryan!
Highly recommend.

Amit (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan is awesome! Our kids are having a great time and learning a lot on how to improve at basketball!

Aaron (CoachUp client)

Ryan really knows what he's talking about. Just in the first session Ryan provided me with a solid foundation to build my shot around, as well as pointed out several of my bad habits that have been hindering it in the past. Looking forward to my next session!

Sarah (CoachUp client)

Ryan was an exceptional coach for my son. During the tough times with all gyms and courts closed, he made it a fun virtual session and as effective as possible! Will continue to book and train with him.

Donald (CoachUp client)

My son enjoyed the session and want to do more so he can grow

Albert (CoachUp client)

He was very knowledgeable and quickly got to know where my problems lie in my game. His drills worked well for the things I needed to improve on (my shooting efficiency) and quickly got me to work on it. Definitely a coach worth going to to help your game up. Will always want to work with him in the future because I know he has so much more for me to go on.

Working with coach Ryan is a true pleasure! He is extremely patient and pays very close attention to detail in order to maximize the athletes abilities. Highly recommended!

Josh (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan was an amazing and patient teacher. Breaking down what seemed difficult to the simplest and understandable ways. He taught a lot about reading the defense and a-ton of moves with many counters. It's nice to have such a professional coach. Sooner than later he'll be a full time NBA coach. Thanks!

Adam (CoachUp client)

Ryan is an excellent coach! His attention to detail has really helped me improve my game, and he will work with you until you feel confident in your ability to execute. Whether it be shooting, ball handling, he has a knack for finding the weakness in your play and helping you improve on them. Highly recommended!

Stephanie (CoachUp client)

We’ve had a few sessions within Coach Ryan (for my two kids aged 9 and 6) and already I see an improvement in their skills in dribbling and shooting. More importantly, my kids are enjoying the sessions and look forward to basketball training a lot!

Mirali (CoachUp client)

Very likable. My boys finally liked a trainer.

Great coach!

Ryan is a great coach. Very attentive to our son's goal. He sees the area that needs improvements and help my son gets better.

I highly recommend Coach Ryan to anyone no matter their ability.

Kristina (CoachUp client)

Great session!

Marty (CoachUp client)

Terrific teacher of the game for young basketball players. Was very patient with my frisky five year old twins and had the perfect combination of calmness and expectations of concentration that was appropriate for such young students. I would definitely recommend Coach Ryan for other parents who want their young children to get introduced to the game in an enjoyable and focused environment.

Alyssa (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan was awesome! Molly really got to learn a lot in just an hour session! Thank you for your patience!!

Ryan was very helpful, I learned more basketball in a hour than I ever had.. But it was the first session we had the second one he texted me and said “he just caught a flat tire” I asked when and hasn’t responded all day.

Daniel (CoachUp client)

Great energy and love the way he teaches. All ways helped me or with something i didn’t get

Fletcher (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan had instant rapport with my son. He does a great job teaching him some of the detailed things that he wouldn't pick with his school coach or in a group setting. Highly recommend.

Cailin (CoachUp client)

Ryan was amazing. My son 7 year old son picked up many new skills in the first session. Well worth the money!

Ryan is very nice and patienty. Very appreciated!

Adam (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan great he has a lot of knowledge about the game and has helped me tremendously

Dereck (CoachUp client)

Great coach.

Dan (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan really understands the specifics of teaching kids. After only one session, my 8 year old son David, was able to overcome several obstacles both in terms of his form and mental blocks. Coach Ryan understood how to get David, who normally has trouble with attention, to fully commit and zone in during the practice, and as a result, David is more encouraged, motivated, and focused than ever after seeing his efforts pay off.

Girish (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan was able to assess my 8 year old's game quickly and customized the training session to his interest and needs. My son has to forget some of his current incorrect techniques to learn the right way. He is excited that Ryan will continue to be his coach. I recommend Coach Ryan to any parent looking to improve their child's game.

Julie (CoachUp client)

After only one session w/ Coach Ryan, my son is very motivated and knows exactly what he needs to work on. In the one hour, we saw very different techniques. My son feels Coach Ryan really takes the time to teach, help him. We look forward to our next lesson

Melissa (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan is a very good coach, but very unreliable. Many times he needed to reschedule or cancel, and once even tried to reschedule us for a time that we were already scheduled with him! He was late for every session except the first one. Today he was a no-show, despite me texting him several times to confirm. My boys loved working with him, so it was a shame.

Coach Ryan has been very helpful for my son. He has shown him new techniques that improved his skills on the court.
Thank you!

William (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan displayed a wonderful patience in coaching my 10 year old grandson, Bill. Bill enjoyed the session. He told me afterwards that Coach Ryan was very clear in his directions and very specific in what he wanted to build on in the future. The coach does know his techniques and is able to convey them effectively. I was very impressed with Coach Ryan and his overall teaching style.. Bill Cole

Raymond (CoachUp client)

We had never had a personal trainer and my daughter was a little nervous. Ryan was very professional and made her feel very comfortable.

Dana Marie (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan met with my 13-yr.-old son. He needed much help as he hadn't learned the proper skills, Basketball IQ, etc. My son really likes working with Coach Ryan. I recommend Coach Ryan to all ages.

Jordana (CoachUp client)

Taylor (CoachUp client)

Very knowledgable coach. Ryan is patient and puts together a very intelligent practice. I am very grateful for choosing Ryan and highly recommend him based on his high basketball iq and friendly personality.

Amber (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan was very knowledgeable and experienced. He knew how to use our hour efficiently. We covered a variety of aspects of the game throughout our session and I left a better player physically but more importantly mentally.

Opi (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan was great.
As soon as the introduction were made he got down to business.
He gave a great workout and my son was a ball of sweat by the end.
We would recommend him and we have already booked more sessions.

Caleb (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan is a great coach! He is very patient with my 5 year old. My son has learned so much just after the first session and is always looking forward to playing.

Kathy (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan has been working with my two boys (ages 9 and 11) for the past couple of months, and we are so impressed with the progress they are making and the focus he has helped them achieve. It's not easy to hold the attention of two young brothers, but Ryan's knowledge and no-nonsense approach have earned their respect and commitment. They look forward to their training sessions with Ryan, and we can always count on him to be there on time and ready with different training exercises to build on their skills. I am sure that his expertise is equally valuable to adolescent or adult clients, but he is definitely a great role model for young boys. This has been a truly great coaching experience that we hope to continue as long as he is available!

Jocelyn. (CoachUp client)

Great positive attitude and on time . Thanks for showing my son true leadership skills.

Robert (CoachUp client)

My 14 year old son is getting ready for high school and Coach Ryan is just what he needs. We are seeing progress after only 2 sessions and will definitely be working with him more. I think it really helps that he is a high school basketball coach, so that experience is critical to our son's success. So far, we highly recommend Coach Ryan. Very happy with him!!

Coach Ryan is very dedicated, timely and a great communicator regarding scheduling. He also works very well with kids and is patient with my son who is in his first year of Basketball.

Ryan was great with my son and worked in his game.

Stephen (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan is a great guy. Not only were his drills excellent for my two sons, his style of careful engagement and instruction meant that my children received an enormous amount of coaching in one hour with immediate results. Kind, related, knowledgeable, and passionate. We were lucky to find him.

Jen (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan did a great job of working with my son who is not the most attentive!

Alex (CoachUp client)

Coach Ryan is great. He customizes his training plan to your needs. I wanted to train footwork so he set up some cones and we worked through jump stop finishes and spin moves. Only after an hour of training I felt comfortable using what he taught me at game speed.

Phil (CoachUp client)

coach Ryan did a great job of communicating and leading my son in being a better player. I would highly recommend him.

Matthew (CoachUp client)

Ryan took the time to work efficiently and patiently. Even if I did not understand he would take the time to demonstrate He was and explain it until I did. He made sure that I did each drill correctly and efficiently. Since Ryan has made sure that my footwork,balance, and much more are correct, my stats have improved in games. He has made me a smarter and very productive player. Ryan is an efficient communicator, and he really knows the game. Ryan has lots of experience and works hard to make you become a better player. He works on all aspects of the game shooting,ball handling, defense, IQ, rebounding, you name it he works on it. His experience is really exemplified through his training and has developed my game to the next level. My game has already improved and he will defiantly make your game improve as well. Ryan was one of the best trainers I've had and I defiantly recommend training with him.

Steve (Virtual Group Session Client) (Testimonial)

Ryan has been coaching our family virtually via FaceTime since COVID19 started... to say that it has been something for our family to look forward to is an understatement. He logged onto the session with a big smile, great energy and we had SO MUCH FUN. It was a group hour, we worked on some basketball skill training which was really like a work out for my wife and I. It has been a weekly family session we love and couldn't recommend him more

Sarah/ Mom of 4 (Testimonial)

Ryan has been with our family for 4+ years. He has coached our boys almost every week. I would highly recommend him to anyone! He is very reliable, has positive energy, and the boys always really look forward to seeing him.
