‘Ryan White has been providing Futsal and Getfit classes to students at Woodlands Academy for the past few years.

Ryan has consistently demonstrated a student-centred approach that sets him apart as a coach. Each session is always well-structured, purposeful, and adapted to the needs of each group. Whether working with beginners or more advanced levels, he knows how to bring out the best in every student — pushing them to grow while maintaining a positive and encouraging atmosphere.

What distinguishes Ryan, is his gentle and respectful nature. In the unique environment of a boarding school, where staff often play multiple roles in the lives of students, Ryan has proven to be a trusted role model and a steady, calming presence.’

— Lisa Homan, General Manager of Woodlands Academy

‘I have known Ryan White since he worked at Rathmichael National School for the
past year teaching the primary school PE curriculum and leading our school’s Extra
Curricular programme.
Ryan has at all times shown himself to be an enthusiastic and dedicated coach.
He is thorough in his preparation. He is adept at catering for the individual needs
of the children, including those with additional needs to whom he showed patience
and understanding. Ryan has an excellent rapport with the pupils.
He has at all times maintained excellent relations with parents. He worked collaboratively with the school’s teachers.’

‘Ryan has been working in our school as a P.E. Teacher and after-school coach since 2023. His commitment and enthusiasm are commendable. Ryan makes it his business to know all the children and be aware of their needs and interests. The children love Ryan’s classes. All the children and staff have nothing but positive things to say about Ryan and we are looking forward to another year working together!’
