“Coach Trevor” has been coaching soccer for 12 years and is starting his 3rd season with PFC! Coach Ward began his coaching journey in grassroots soccer in Columbus, Ohio, and spent 3 years on the Ohio State University Women’s Soccer technical operations staff during college. After graduating, he joined the Columbus Crew as an Academy Performance Analyst, where he played a key role in supporting and challenging coaching strategies to help identify and develop top talent in the region. His passion for player development led him to the college game with Iowa Western Community College, where he served as an assistant coach and performance analyst, working with elite student-athletes from around the world. Prior to joining PFC, Trevor was at Sporting Kansas City, contributing to coaching and player development within the Sporting City clubs. He now also serves as an assistant coach for Austin Rise FC in the WPSL, helping grow the women’s game in Austin.
His favorite part of coaching is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both players and coaches. He finds deep value in recognizing potential and being part of someone's journey. Not just as a soccer player, but in their growth toward becoming the best version of themselves. His biggest motivation comes from those moments with players and coaches where you can see and feel the joy they carry because you were there, supporting them through a chapter of their journey.
During his time playing, Coach Trevor was a midfielder. At Ohio State, he majored in Physical Activity and Coaching, and received a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.
Coach Trevor is originally from Columbus, Ohio. With family spread across Ohio, Michigan, Italy, France, and Australia, he’s been fortunate to travel extensively and experience a wide range of cultures. This global perspective has deeply influenced his approach to life and coaching. Whether on the field or exploring new places, he finds that soccer is a universal language; one that connects people everywhere. When he’s not coaching, he’s watching the game, always learning and staying close to the sport he loves.
