Fifth-year basketball player Josh Ross of the Mount Royal University Cougars takes us through his day in between a back-to-back night face-off against their inner-city rivals, and the eventual national champions, the University of Calgary Dinos. These games played back in February were going to decide if the Cougars would qualify for the playoffs.

Outside of basketball, Ross now also has new responsibilities at home as a father while trying to balance life as a student athlete. Last year, Ross and his girlfriend, Amanda Keane, welcomed daughter Gracelynn. Balancing education, athletics and parenthood is not an easy task, but Ross makes it look easy. Ross is graduating in 2018 with a bachelor of arts degree.
