Games: Fifa 10, Halo Reach

Introducing perhaps the most exciting young Auskick footballer running around the AFL system. They say big things come in small packages, and whilst most girls would disagree, this can be said for Ryan Neates. Fast and skillful, expect to see the dimunitive midfielder-cum-forward dominate a wing/HFF near you soon.
(Note both the glorious Mexican Mo, and the comparitive size of Neates and the football.)

A small hard-working midfielder with a good turn of pace and ability to carry ball. I have the potential to go forward and kick goals, good hands and I work to bring others into the game.

What parts of your game would you like to improve?
Carrying the ball and breaking the lines, kicking to be more accurate and penetrative.

My father. We discuss my game and areas that are working well or need improvement, as well as keeping me level-headed.

In the words of others
Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack. Ryan Neates dominates at both attack and defense.
Sun Tzu (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/s/suntzu399627.html)
Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Ryan Neates is certainly one of those last ones.
William Shakespeare (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/w/williamsha101484.html)
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. It is the small body of Ryan Neates that can alter the history of the Eagles.
Mohandas Gandhi (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/mohandasga160841.html)
Power is not alluring to pure minds. Ryan Neates is the exception...he has both power and a pure mind.
