Key Quotes:

“One of the great gifts of my life is that the folks at West Point allowed me to work out with their tennis team while I was a junior and senior in high school. And honestly, I think a fair number of their leadership traits and tactics showed up on the tennis court. And I picked it up and it has served me ever since.” - Christopher Ryan

“A lot of us get so focused, myself included, on the here and now that sometimes it comes at the cost of what's going to be really important to us later in life.” - Christopher Ryan
