OUT-SKILL. OUT-WORK. OUT-PERFORM.
Peter Zecca brings Division I and international soccer experience to PSP's training floor. A Weston, MA native, Peter was a standout forward at The Rivers School — a four-year varsity letter-winner who scored 32 career goals and earned first-team all-conference honors as a senior. He went on to compete at the highest level of college soccer, first at St. John's University in the Big East, then at the University of Akron, one of the nation's premier programs, where he was a member of the 2018 squad that reached the NCAA College Cup national championship final. Peter then took his game overseas, playing in Italy for Suzzara Calcio and training with clubs across Europe. He knows what it takes to earn a spot — and keep it — at the next level, and he brings that standard to every athlete he trains.
