Ryan shared insights into how the highly regarded Wichita State program shaped him as both a bowler and an athlete, offering a glimpse into the challenges and lessons he encountered along the way.
As we transitioned into discussing his professional journey, Ryan opened up about his expectations for the upcoming PBA Tour season. With the new season just around the corner, he provided an inside look at his goals, the strategies he’s refining, and the mindset he’s bringing to the lanes.
A highlight of our conversation was reflecting on his standout performance during the PBA Tour Trials.
