Ryan Murphy has committed to CAL Berkley!
Congratulations to Ryan and to Cal Berkley. Personally I am very happy for Ryan since he has been very methodical during this recruiting process and he is convinced that Coach Dave Durden and the California Golden Bears will help him reach his goals as a student-athlete and as a world class swimmer. CONGRATS Ryan!!!
Personally it has been a privilege to coach Ryan for these past four years and I can’t wait to watch him step into the next level and develop as a collegiate and world class swimmer. I know that Ryan will be able to help the Golden Bears not only in the backstroke events, but his IM, his Fly and his Free will be events that if he wants to, he could be on the top at the NCAA Championships.
I still have almost ten months coaching Ryan, but I know I am going to miss him. I am very thankful to Ryan for creating the partnership that he has created with me, and for allowing me to coach him and allowing me to share my thoughts with him. Also I want to thank him for everything he has done for Bolles as a student-athelete. I have learned a lot from him these past years in and out of the water, and I thank him for that. One of the things that I am most thankful is that he has kept me on my toes day in and day out with his curiosity, determination and work ethics to be the best. THANK YOU Ryan!
I know Dave Durden and Yuri Suguiyama will have a great time coaching Ryan and developing him to the next level.
