Southwestern University

Ben Sasu is entering his fourth season as an assistant coach with the Southwestern University football team and serves as the running backs coach.

The 2025 Pirate offense averaged 26.10 points per game, largely in part to the consistent run game under Sasu. He helped coach Tycen Williams who broke the single-season running back yards (772) record along with the rushing touchdown record (8). The Pirates garnered a First Team All-SAA running back for back-to-back seasons. 

In 2024, Sasu helped the Pirates run game average 182 yards per game in 2024, led by an All-SAA First Team running back. The mark was the most per game since 2019. 

Sasu accepted a scholarship out of high school to play football at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. After his collegiate career, Sasu played Professionally in Europe in 2017 and eventually returned to his alma mater high school to begin his coaching career as an assistant.

Upon earning a Master's Degree in Sport Psychology in 2020, Ben relocated to Texas to assist St. Michael’s Catholic football and work with military soldiers at Ft. Hood to enhance combat performance through training their minds. 

Sasu is the owner of PSASU (Psychology Sport & Skill Universal), a youth development program that works with youth student-athletes on mental & emotional training to enhance performance in their sport, in the classroom, and in life.
