What others say
about Mark

We help our student athletes and their parents prepare for their future in college athletics.

The points Mark stressed about student athletes giving back to their community, and the dangers of unrefined social media, and of the student’s responsibilities regarding bullying are vital for us to heed in our efforts to raise good people, not good athletes, and are too often not prioritized. I loved the presentation.

MICHELLE WEISSENBERG, PARENT, MIRA COSTA HS

Perfect Playcement truly empowers the parents and athletes. It gives them the tools to not only navigate the process but to feel more in control of the potential outcomes.

RON PETRIE, AD – MILLER PLACE HS

His presentation helped to reinforce the messages that our coaches, teachers, and administrators have been sharing with students and parents. I would highly recommend Mark and his Perfect Playcement talk.

KEVIN REGAN, AD – EAST MEADOW HS

I give my highest accolades to his presentation. Not only is Mark a dynamic speaker but his depth of knowledge and ability to establish an instant rapport with his audience is exceptional.

TIMOTHY MULLINS, DIR INTERSCHOLASTIC SPORTS

Mark’s presentation to a packed house of athletes and parents was spot on. As both and educator, father, and former Division I athlete myself, I wish I had heard Mark’s presentation when I was in high school.
