Neil Weiss
“I’m a parent, I’ve been a coach and I’ve been around a lot of parents and coaches - both of these jobs are really hard. I joined the PCA Board because its mission is aimed at providing the support, training and content that improve the odds of generating a positive outcome for youth athletes, from grade school through high school.” – Neil Weiss
