“What a great opportunity it was to play in Atlantic City.” Ryckman said. She’s coming of a great AAU season in which her club team is apart of the Adidas Gauntlet Gold circuit. Her Beartails club team also traveled to Atlanta for the Adidas Summer Championship.
Ryckman wanted to focus on improving her game all summer long. Early in the morning she would get to the gym, hook up the aux, scroll down, press play and zone out. She would simulate game type situations and practice them, over and over and over again. Next up, ball handling drills, two balls of course. Then lots of shooting. “You have to switch things up,” the University of Mary commit said. “Up here, we all know each other’s teams,” she laughed.
Cadee believes the best teams are in the Bismarck area, which means she plays these teams all year long. “It’s tough to win and make it to state, that’s my goal for this upcoming season.” The Demons of Bismarck lost right before the state tournament. Ryckman will try to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
You can hear it in her voice how much she loves basketball. She mentioned her older sister played ball and she gravitated to the game through her and her recreation coaches. So, when the University of Mary came calling, it was a no brainer. “I loved the campus and coaching staff, it really makes me feel at home.” Maybe the reason is that its literally 5 minutes from her home. I bet laundry drop of dates will be frequent.
But, for now it’s back to the gym putting up shots, working on jabs and being a consistent threat from the outside. “I know this doesn’t seem right but I like a donut after I work out, a vanilla frosted one!” Hahahaha seems pretty legit to me……
