Coach Ryan then invited her to play with his team in state cup and the regionals, she has become an elite keeper, that never would have happened had she not been trained by him. Even now nine months later she will come off the field and say to me “I wish Coach Ryan was here to see how I still use all his lessons” - David Ersoff (Father of Madison Ersoff, Shreveport United FC Player)
