College of Wooster Men's Soccer

Zidron has served as Woosters head coach since 2015. During his span as head coach the program has become extremely competitive within the NCAC and on a regional level by focusing on a culture rooted in hard work, family, and servant leadership. The program has consistently improved on the field and classroom with recognition coming from the Unites Soccer Coaches for academic excellence.  Prior to Wooster, Zidron spent 14 years associated with Denisons consistently successful program, helping the Big Red to eight top-three finishes in the conference standings and a 154-96-24 overall record (.606) during that time. With him as an assistant coach, Denison won the NCAC Tournament in both 2006 and 2009, thus receiving the leagues automatic berth into the NCAA Div. III Championships field each of those seasons, and recorded eight winning seasons, including an 11-4-3 record in 2013. As a player, the Cincinnati, Ohio native (Anderson High School) was a standout defender for the Big Red. A four-year starter (73 games played), Zidron capped his career with his best season, earning all-NCAC honors for a team that was NCAC co-champions (with Wooster) and went 18-3, the winningest season in school history. Following his career at Denison, Zidron played as a reserve for the Cincinnati Kings of the United Soccer League 2nd Division.  While an assistant at Denison, Zidron also taught science at Liking Valley High School in Newark, Ohio (2005-14), and coached club teams with the Newark Area Soccer Association.   Zidron and his wife, Kelly, currently reside in Wooster and have three children, son Owen (8), daughter Sawyer (6), son Wyatt (3).
