About Ross
During my career, I’ve suffered my fair share of knockbacks, yet I have still not only survived these but used them to help me get closer to success.
In my earlier life, I suffered severe acne scarring that affected my mindset, experienced a catastrophic knee and ankle injury, which has left me partially disabled, and in daily pain. I’ve also suffered from mild depression and clinically diagnosed and treated panic attacks, but I overcame these setbacks by understanding how to craft my Mind Armour.
Over the past 30 years, I’ve worked with various notable companies in the UK and sometimes overseas. My career has included high-performance sports coaching in Saudi Arabia, Belgium, Canada and the USA; a teaching career in Schools, Colleges and Universities around the UK; and being Commercial Manager & Match Day Corporate Host within professional football.
Wherever I’ve worked, I’ve found fulfilment in coaching and developing the people around me. I have a clear insight into engaging with people at all stages of their careers, from school pupils to young professionals, senior professionals and business leaders. When you authentically care for people and have the necessary knowledge and experiences, learning and progress are natural followers.
My keynote speeches, training, and coaching programmes will ignite a positive change and give people and organisations the tools they need to build their better future.
My Legacy
Everything I’ve done and achieved in my life is dedicated to the memory of my parents. Their support and unconditional love was the foundation upon which I grew and developed physically, emotionally and intellectually. The passing of my father in 2012, (sadly followed 3 months later, by my beautiful niece Danni) and my mother in 2017 were the catalysts for my CUPPA book series.
My characters, Chris, Katy and Alex Cupsworth, are helping children reach their potential in life and develop a belief in themselves which I believe is a precious gift.
Katy Cupsworth book had been nominated for the Peoples Book Award (Children) 2021.
