He was coming off nearly a year-long battle with Ewing's sarcoma, and Ryan still wasn't in playing shape. He struggled with his conditioning and getting in the flow.
He started running on the treadmill more often. Glimpses of his old self began returning to the pitch. Then they weren't just glimpses anymore; now he's just Ryan again.
