We’re proud to share the first-ever edition of PSN’s Coaches Corner, a new, Zoom video interview format where Pittsburgh Soccer Now‘s John Krysinsky interviews both current and former soccer coaches.

In this edition, John catches up with two of Pittsburgh Soccer Now’s key high school contributors from the past few years: Ed Rosensteel and Ryan Kelly.

They address how coaches are preparing, what are some of the biggest challenges they’re currently facing as the 2020 high school Fall soccer season in Pennsylvania hangs in the balance.

This is the first part of our conversation. We hope to share the second part in the coming days.
