COACH'S CORNER
MY COACHES, TEACHERS, AND MENTORS:
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THEIR GUIDANCE, ADVICE & WORDS.
MTN. VIEW HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
"...he exemplifies what it means to be a Spartans football player—Hardworking, humble, respectful, high-class, does whatever is asked, plays with competitive greatness..."
Paul Steffan
Defensive Back Coach, Varsity (2019)
Spartan Award Recipient & 2nd Team-All League Honors
MTN. VIEW HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
"First, there isn't a better person, student-athlete, and in my opinion football player for your program than Ryan Cambouris. He has all the attributes a coach looks for in a player, intelligent, instinctive, highly respected by both teammates and coaches, never comes off the field, and gives maximum effort at all times. He's been our starting (all-league) corner on defense and has played multiple positions for us on offense. We refer to him as our Swiss Army Knife, because he can play just about every position without hesitation. Many times this doesn't help his highlight film, but he's such a great team player, we would not experience the success we've had without him."
Shelley Smith
Head Coach, Varsity (2019)
KUK SOOL WON
"Ryan was an excellent student. He stands out in my mind because he was such a thoughtful student. Many children just jump in and try without a thought; many others simply do not want to try difficult things out of fear. Ryan was neither of those. He would carefully consider what I asked him to do and then he would try his best. He was a pleasure to teach."
Master Jeff Gullicksen
Owner & Operator, Kuk Sool Won Martial Arts (2007-2015)
BLACH JR. HIGH
"I have really enjoyed having Cam in my classes. He is such a kind and hardworking kid."
Jeremy Liewer
Teacher, Blach Jr. High (2014-2017)
MTN. VIEW HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
"...to be as talented as a football player, he is probably one of the most humble kids I've ever coached..."
John Payne
Head Coach, Junior Varsity (2017)
Spartan Award Recipient & 1st Team-All League Honors
MVLA CLUB SOCCER
"I have been coaching soccer at all levels for over 30 years. Ryan came to our team, and I immediately noticed that he was eager to learn and improve his game. He is very athletic and a strong player, not only physically, but mentally as well. The team was able to use all of Ryan's skills in the game.
His speed and endurance are some of his extreme assets. He is also able to sprint with so much grace, quickness, and agility, that he can take his opponents by surprise. He also became an amazing goalie in no time. His vertical jump, quick reactions, and strength make it look easy when he is in the goal.
I think the correct word would be that he is an appropriately assertive individual. Ryan is a young man that is very coachable and a team player.
In my career I have never had an athlete that is so easygoing and focused. His team always comes first, and he never gives up. Also, off the field, he is a very well rounded young man.
I was very fortunate to cross paths with him and to have him on my teams."
Javier Barboza
Head Coach, MVLA Club Soccer, White Team (2013-2018)
BLACH JR. HIGH
"Ryan was a fierce competitor but always showed respect to his coaches, teammates, officials and opposing players. He largely lead through his actions."
Steve Kane
P.E. Teacher & Athletic Director, Blach Jr. High (2014-2017)
