Player Profile
Ricky Dyson's personal philosophy when playing football is to "always back skills in." Dyson's second senior coach, Matthew Knights, particularly valued his speed, his left-foot kick, and his football brain. Knights in particular noticed an improvement in Dyson by the second year of his tenure as coach, citing his improved intensity and endurance as a young midfielder, exhibiting calmer and more effective decision-making on field than he had in his younger years, and although Knights also conceded that Dyson still had much room for improvement, the enhancement of the young man's quality as a player had been of great benefit to the team. Even when Dyson was regularly playing in 2009 however, he came under criticism for his game style, which was described as "outside," although his speed and kicking was still appreciated.

Famous quotes containing the words player and/or profile:
“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Actor: Electrician, a little more this way with that spotlight. What are you trying to do, ruin my profile?
Electrician: Your profile was ruined the day you were born.”
—James Gleason (1886–1959)
