He encouraged students to identify their natural talents and develop a game around them rather than forcing themselves into a style that doesn’t suit them. He also noted that coaches play a vital role in recognizing and nurturing these gifts to help students reach their full potential. What do you think is your special gift in Jiu-Jitsu?

He noted that many athletes focus solely on winning tournaments but fail to establish a business strategy that ensures stability beyond their competition years. According to Ryan, those who invest in coaching, content creation, and personal branding will see far greater financial rewards than those relying only on competition purses.
