The Real Deal Difference

Real Deal Athletix is dedicated to helping athletes unlock their full potential through elite-level training, proven performance programs, and personalized coaching. Founded by Coach Ryan Deal, a former NCAA Division II quarterback, we bring real playing experience and a passion for athlete development to every session.

From youth athletes building their foundation to high school and college players preparing for the next level, our programs focus on speed, agility, strength, and sport-specific skills that translate directly to game-day performance. Beyond physical development, we emphasize confidence, mental toughness, and leadership—qualities that help athletes succeed both on and off the field.

Serving Annapolis, Owings, Leonardtown, and the surrounding Southern Maryland communities, Real Deal Athletix provides private training, group sessions, team consulting, and performance coaching for athletes across a wide range of sports including football, lacrosse, soccer, baseball, track, and more.

At Real Deal Athletix, we don’t just train athletes—we build complete competitors ready to rise above the competition.
