Winning isn't luck. The difference between a check and hauling home is hundredths of a second, and a coach who sees what you can't.

Sound Familiar?
You've got more in you than the scoreboard shows
You're putting in the reps. You love this sport. But something keeps capping your runs, and nobody's in your corner telling you exactly what to fix.
Your times have plateaued and you can't tell why.
You're dropping loops and missing catches you should be making.
You don't fully trust your horse in the box when it counts.
The runs fall apart under pressure. Practice never matches the jackpot.
Ropers you used to beat are starting to pass you by.
You're piecing it together from free clips with nobody watching your run.

YOUR MENTOR
Coached by the best. Built to coach you.
My name is Ryan Franks, and I've been a student of the sport of calf roping since I was about ten. Growing up, I wanted to be a calf roper who could compete against the best in the world. In pursuit of that, I was coached and trained by some of the very best.
My greatest frustration was having the desire and the ability to learn, but no coach with me every step of the way. If I could have waved a magic wand, I'd have wanted a step-by-step blueprint that cut my learning curve in half.
So I built Rodeo Gym with the roping athlete in mind, giving ropers around the world direct access to the tips, tricks, and tools to become an elite roper and horseman. Through online coaching, channel subscriptions, in-person lessons, and group clinics, you can train in the environment that fits your life.

"As a participant in roping, I can confidently say Rodeo Gym provides an exceptional space for beginners and seasoned ropers alike. Ryan has helped me so much. I'd confidently recommend him to anyone."
Caleb, Roper
"Ryan teaches in a manner Jase, who is dyslexic, can grasp and apply. From beginners to advanced, there's a spot for you. I can't say enough about the impact Rodeo Gym has had on him as a roper, horseman, and little human."
Alanna, Roping Parent
"Ryan has spent many hours with my two sons and helped them be better, not only in horsemanship and roping, but more physically fit and mentally strong. I'd strongly recommend Ryan Franks and Rodeo Gym."
