Coach Ryan is a Coach Across America member in New York City. Coach Across America (CAA) is the first nationwide effort to mobilize young adults to be coaches in community – and school-based sports programs in our nation’s most under-served neighborhoods.

Ryan developed a passion for rowing at a young age. Her early participation helped her develop leadership skills that compelled her to pursue coaching. CAA has  given Ryan the opportunity to combine her passion for rowing and coaching. It also allows her to help young girls build self-esteem through rowing.

“Rowing is a sport that often time isn’t taught in inner city schools,” Ryan says. “I love that I have to opportunity to share this amazing activity with girls from all socio-economic backgrounds.”

Thank you all for your support of Coach Across America. Coach Ryan can continue to empower and inspire girls through rowing. Your donations make it possible for Ryan to continue coaching kids for another year!
