Hello Everyone,
I am Roman Lawson, the Head Coach of the CKY Knights 10u football team and the visionary founder behind the CKY Knight organization. Hailing originally from the city of Cleveland, Ohio, my journey into the realm of athletics began at Shaker Heights High School, where I distinguished myself as a multi-talented three-sport athlete.
During my time at Shaker Heights, I proudly represented the school in football, wrestling, and track and field. Throughout all four years of my high school career, I garnered recognition for my dedication, earning varsity letters for my 4 years football and wrestling. Moreover, my passion for athletics extended beyond the gridiron and wrestling mat, as I dedicated two years to track and field, further showcasing my versatility and commitment to excellence.
Following my high school career, I embarked on another journey marked by unwavering dedication to the game of football. I had the privilege of donning the jerseys of Miami University of Ohio and Eastern Kentucky University, where I pursued my passion at the collegiate level. It was during these formative years that I honed my skills and cultivated a deep understanding of the game, while ultimately earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology.
Today, I stand alongside my beloved wife, Janel, and our three children, finding immense fulfillment in my role as a coach, mentor, and advocate for the next generation of athletes. It is my belief that through coaching, mentoring, and training, we have the profound opportunity to shape the future of sports and inspire greatness in young minds.
As the head coach of the CKY Knights and the driving force behind the CKY Knight organization, I am committed to fostering a culture of excellence, integrity, and sportsmanship. Together, let us embark on a journey of growth, empowerment, and achievement, as we guide the next generation of athletes toward success on and off the field.
