Ross is eager to grow the beautiful game of soccer for younger generations, adding, “Football is the biggest passion in my life. I love working with players and helping them achieve things they never knew they could. My goal is not only to make my players better football players but also make them better people. There is so much more to the game of football than kicking a ball. The values it teaches will help all players in all aspects of their life as they get older. I am a young energetic coach who loves to work with committed players. I always have my players’ best interest in mind, and it is my goal to get the best out of them both on and off the field. I have a beautiful wife and daughter and I have aspirations of achieving an U.S. Soccer National a License in the future.”
