"I'm very honored to be chosen by my fellow NFL peers to head our WSA International Pro Football Division. We have an amazing team and an even more amazing agenda. Every professional athlete I've spoken to is so behind us. Whether you are a NFL pro, NBA, MLB or other, I can truly tell you this is an organization unlike any other you have ever been a part of. The synergy is off the charts. So check us out," said Dixon who was raised in Wildwood, Florida.
"Ron is really a wonderful guy. We are fortunate to have a player of his stature represent us. He's a great leader and also has great values which you can see as he always takes his family everywhere he goes. I speak for many NFL players when I say that we look forward to Ron leading our sports division in the WSA", said Bruce Rothschild, former San Diego Charger, and current WSA member. He is also the President of Your Backyard Superstore which is a WSA Business Sponsor partner.

Some of Dixon's primary duties to start will be to continue to build membership of past and current NFL pros into the WSA. He will also create strategic partnerships with business entities, and create more synergy with the other WSA Sports Divisions.
"Ron and I worked together on many projects, so I got to know Ron really well before we both left the NFL Alumni in Orlando. He always impressed me because he would always make a point to never over promise, yet he always over delivered," said Charlie Williams Founder of Dragon Promotions who also serves on the WSA Board. He adds, "And in the time I've known him, not once did he ever mention to others about his NFL career unless they happen to ask. He always makes a good impression on people because he's an extremely down to earth guy who treats everyone the same."
