Ryan Froom

Born and raised in Crystal, Minnesota, Ryan developed an early passion for health and sports, leading to a Bachelor of Science in health education and promotion from South Dakota State University (SDSU) in 2018. Following his undergraduate studies, he completed a Master's in athletic training at SDSU in 2020 and a Graduate Certificate in medical physiology from the University of Florida in 2022. While at SDSU, he balanced academics and athletics as a student-athlete in baseball.

As a graduate student, Ryan gained hands-on experience performing clinical rotations with SDSU’s football and softball teams, as well as placements at Allina Orthopedics, Orthopedic Institute, and various high schools. Ryan's passion for baseball led him to sign a professional contract with the independent Sioux Falls Canaries in 2019, an opportunity cut short due to injury.

Ryan worked with collegiate softball and volleyball players as an Assistant Athletic Trainer at Minnesota State University - Mankato, and for professional and Olympic baseball players as the Athletic Trainer for the Sioux Falls Canaries. He also provided outreach coverage to several sports and tournaments in South Dakota and Alabama through Sanford Sports Medicine and ATI Physical Therapy.

He interned at the esteemed Andrews Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center and American Sports Medicine Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, contributing to several research projects.

Ryan spends his free time hiking, snowboarding, traveling and playing sports. He is eagerly looking forward to learning from the world-renowned medical team at The Steadman Clinic and embracing life in Colorado.
