This week on Coach Cut’s Corner, I’m joined by former Stars outfielder turned assistant coach Ryan Radek.
Ryan was on track to play at the Division I level until a devastating knee injury ended his season and put his future as a player in jeopardy. Instead of stepping away, Ryan chose to give back, shifting from the field to the dugout and bringing his knowledge to the next generation of Stars.
What You’ll Catch in This Episode:
- Ryan’s playing career and what it meant to wear the Stars jersey
 - The moment of his injury and the challenges of season-ending surgery
 - How he processed losing out on D1 opportunities and found purpose in coaching
 - The transition from player to coach, and how he now mentors guys he once played beside
 - His perspective on this year’s team, program changes, and the culture being built
 - Lessons on resilience, setbacks, and finding new ways to lead
 
Ryan’s story is about toughness, perspective, and staying uncommon when the path you planned takes a turn.
Tune in and hear how he’s stacking bricks in a whole new way.
