  • Five gold stars with five stars' worth of rating

    "Hiring Coach Ryan was the best decision we have ever made for our son who is just learning to be a QB. He taught Brian not just the skills that a QB needs but focusing on QB IQ in order to call out those great plays and have wonderful touchdowns. I can’t wait to see how our own athlete improves, and develops for many, many years to come! Coach Ryan Deal is truly the REAL DEAL!"

    Katherine D.

  • Five gold stars on a white background with the text 'Rated 5 Stars' above.

    "It’s more than just throwing a football, and with Ryan, my son has learned just that. The mechanics, techniques, and not only physical but mental aspects of being a QB are all important to learn, train, and put into action during a game. My son has all these takeaways from his private sessions with Ryan over the last almost 6 months, and has used them at home in between practices and Ryan’s sessions..."

    Teresa L.

  • Five gold stars, with four filled in, representing a four-star rating.

    "My son has been doing quarterback lessons with Coach Ryan for about a year. My son had never played Quarterback and Coach Ryan has been able to transform him into a skilled player. The amount of growth in my son’s abilities and confidence is very noticeable. One of the things I especially appreciate about Coach Ryan is the way he delivers feedback. He is never negative and always asked my son to figure out where there is room for improvement...."

    Deanna C.

  • Five yellow five-pointed stars in a row, with gray text above and below reading 'Rate your experience'.

    "My two sons have been training with Ryan for years. Ryan has a wealth of knowledge and experience with the QB position. It is impressive how easily he is able to translate that information to athletes at every level in ways that each athlete can understand. Ryan has been instrumental in developing and preparing our oldest son for high school. We cannot thank Ryan enough for all that he does to help improve their skills on and off of the field. We look forward to continuing trainings for both of our sons."

    Nick F.

  • Five yellow stars with five star icons next to a 4.5 star rating in black text, indicating a high rating or review score.

    "My son, Connor, has attended QB training with Coach Ryan for sometime now. He has done private training, group training and throwing sessions as well as attended his summer and holiday camps. They all have benefits and he enjoys all of them. The time Coach Ryan has spent working with Connor on his mechanics, reading defenses, and keeping a positive mindset as a QB has been invaluable. The proof is in his play on the field; he continues to improve and Coach Ryan continues to advance his training to make him even better."

    Jennifer T.

  • Five orange stars with black outlines, with five empty stars outlined above, representing a five-star rating system.

    "Coach Ryan is amazing! His dedication to his athletes, both on and off the field, is admirable. He cares! I have seen huge growth in my soccer player, both mentally and physically. He makes the workouts fun while still challenging his athletes to their greatest potential. My daughter will be quick to say that everyone should have a Coach Ryan in their life and I wholeheartedly agree with her."

    Katie B.

  • Five yellow stars in a row with black checkmarks above each star on a white background.

    "The camp was very good and Coach Ryan is a great coach too. Definitely worth the time and would for sure do it again. You leave each day with something new that you can add into your game as a player. There’s so much detail offered during the camp and it was lots of fun."

    Katie B.

  • "Great QB football camp! My son will be a freshman next year in high school. I was amazed at how much he learned in two days. The classroom sessions about reading defenses, mental preparations, and sharing knowledge about the position is invaluable. My son definitely resonates with Coach Ryan and has a lot of respect for someone who has played the position at a high level. I think this means a lot to players..."

    Dave H.

  • "Ryan is a Godsend. He has been our son’s QB Trainer for 3 years. He is professional and cares about my son’s best interest. Our son looks forward to working with him even during his regular football season. Ryan is patient and work’s really good with kids."

    Yvette J.

  • "Ryan has done an amazing job with my son!! He not only trains him but he cares about his well being! He loves to training with Ryan and truly looks forward to it. Loves Ryan's off platform training lol. I definitely recommend Ryan's training to all athletes."

    Jordan J.

  • "Ryan has done an awesome job teaching the fundamentals of QB to my son. He loves going to training and leaves a better player. His strength and conditioning program is also top notch. I would definitely recommend to all athletes."

    Tyler M.

  • "Coach Ryan Deal is an inspiration and positive role model for my son Will. While training with Coach Ryan, Will has developed a firm understanding of his position(QB) as well as confidence to perform in stressful situations. Coach “is there” for my kid. Can’t ask for more. Thank you, Coach!"
