Coach Ryan is the absolute best! He prioritizes building a supportive relationship within a fun and encouraging environment. He is very skilled at teaching the techniques of the sport. He is able to pay close attention to the athlete’s habits and form and thoughtfully explain how to correct or improve those habits. He comes up with a variety of really effective and fun drills. His loads of experience playing and coaching multiple sports is evident. He is caring, patient, professional, prompt, clear, and enjoyable to work with. Highly recommend!!

Patient, kind, knowledgeable and fun. Ryan has been a huge help to my middle school son, doing early prep for next cross country season. Helping him with technique and confidence is exactly what is needed and what Ryan has been excelling at.

I look forward to ongoing sessions and seeing the improvement happen over the summer!

Coach Ryan has been responsive to messages, on time and excellent with our special-needs teenage son. He is patient, approachable and attentive to our son’s unique needs. We especially appreciate how closely he observes what works best for our son and adapts his approach accordingly. We highly recommend coach Ryan to any parent.

Emma J. (Collegiate Runner) (Testimonial)

It's hard to truly put into words how great of a coach Ryan Slaymaker was to me. Coach Slaymaker helped me through a difficult part of my life. He was extremely supportive and patient. Even now, he still reaches out to my teammates and me to make sure we’re all doing well. He is the kind of coach who would rather spend the entire practice talking to you to verify you’re okay than to dismiss you, making you practice while you’re going through something. He takes a lot of time to listen, understand, and give empathy to his athletes, which is something a lot of coaches don’t take the time to do. He goes above and beyond to help lead all athletes to not only become better performers but better people and communicators. Slaymaker is a fantastic spiritual leader. He is remarkably uplifting and encouraging and works extremely hard to not let his personal life affect his coaching and conduct. Any athlete would be blessed to call Slaymaker their coach just as I have.
