Founder / Director
Rob Weighall
"Coach Rob" founded Tribe Elite Athletics in 2019 as an instrument of philanthropy and professional stewardship centered on the goal of delivering elite athletic coaching and youth-leadership development to his local community. Fortunate to have several amazing mentors early in his life, a profound retrospect as an adult has emphasized the personal importance of giving back to this same ethos. During the past twenty years, Coach Rob has persisted in modeling his work ethic to exemplify and offer the same opportunities as those of his Champions. Recognizing his athletic and business success stemmed from these people, Coach Rob's priority each day is finding a way to give back and advance the same level of leadership to our next generation of youth athletes.
