Wingate University Sports Hall of Fame member Ron Ladimir returns to his alma mater in the fall of 2007 to serve as assistant men’s and women’s soccer coach.

One of the most decorated student-athletes in Bulldog history, Ladimir was named the J. Howard Williams Award winner for Wingate’s Most Outstanding Male Athlete in 1996.

Ladimir was a CoSIDA first team soccer All-American and Umbro second team soccer All-American in 1996. He is the all-time leading scorer in Wingate soccer history with 55 goals and 54 assists (164 points). Ladimir is listed on the SAC soccer scoring charts as number two in total points. 

A three-year All-SAC first team selection, Ladimir helped lead the Bulldogs to the SAC regular season and conference tournament titles in 1994. He was honored as the soccer team MVP in 1996. A two-sport star at Wingate, Ladimir was also a four-year letterman in tennis. He won the Wingate coaches award in tennis in 1997.           

Following his graduation from Wingate, Ladimir went to the University of South Florida to obtain his teaching credentials. He taught math and coached men’s soccer and tennis for seven years at Hudson (Fla.) High School. His overall record as the Hudson High men’s soccer coach was 100-50-9. Ladimir was named conference Coach of the Year five times (four for soccer, one for tennis). In soccer, Hudson earned six combined district and conference titles. The team advanced to the Florida state play-offs six times.

Ladimir accepted a teaching and coaching position at brand-new Porter Ridge High School during the summer of 2005. In the school’s first-ever men’s soccer season, Ladimir led the Pirates to a 13-8 overall record. For his efforts, he was named Union County men’s soccer Coach of the Year.

Both the PRHS men’s and women’s soccer teams have earned state play-off berths two years each. Ladimir’s combined PRHS record is 69-19-4. On the men’s side, the Pirates have earned one conference title. The women also have one league championship. The 2007 PRHS women’s team advanced to the NCHSAA state semi-finals.
