Ryan Bridges has been a member of the Dirty Birds coaching staff since 2022, bringing a unique blend of competitive playing experience and genuine enthusiasm for the game. A Cobb County native and Reinhardt University alumnus, Ryan played collegiate lacrosse as a faceoff specialist and midfielder — contributing to a MCLA conference championship and developing the specialized skill set that defines his coaching approach today. Outside of lacrosse, Ryan works as a Sales Development Representative and, when he is not on the field, competes in USAPL powerlifting competitions. On the coaching side, he works with Dirty Birds while also coaching within Marietta's Junior Select Program — growing his impact across multiple levels of the game. Ryan brings energy and dedication to the program that reflects his own competitive drive, and he is committed to helping every athlete he works with reach their full potential.
