Rising Star

There are certain athletes that I've had the pleasure to coach who are just natural athletes yet lack the perseverance and patience to succeed. While it may take Ryan a little longer to pick up a new skill, he makes up for it with his work ethic. Every week Ryan puts in countless hours focusing on developing the skills necessary to succeed and it's paying off. Not only is he stronger, but movements like the muscle-up don't scare him any longer.

In my opinion there is a big difference between someone who achieves their goals and someone who just dreams about them. The starting point is always their level of desire, and how bad they want it. Achieving your goals doesn’t have anything to do with where you’ve been; you can always get to where you want to be – if you want it bad enough.
