Kyle Pearson-Youth Basketball Trainer

With a strong background in competitive basketball, I bring real-game experience and a passion for player development to young athletes of all skill levels. After excelling as a two-year varsity player in high school, I continued to compete at the collegiate level for two years at IVC, gaining advanced knowledge of the game and high-level training techniques.

Now, I am dedicated to helping the next generation of players build confidence, sharpen their skills, and develop a deeper understanding of basketball fundamentals. Whether you're just getting started or preparing for high school or club-level play, my training sessions focus on developing fundamentals, individual growth, and discipline.

Here's a little about my athletic career as a basketball player. For high school, I attended Foothill High in Santa Ana, California, where I played throughout my whole 4 years of high school, and I played 2 years on varsity. After I graduated, I attended community college at Irvine Valley College to study and continue playing basketball for another 2 years.

A typical individual training session from me will typically involve first a warmup to help prevent unnecessary physical stress and injury. Then move onto skill work, I first like to start off with ball handling, as it is a great way to warm up the players' hands and get them moving. Then I move on to shooting drills as this helps develop their fundamentals, such as footwork. Once I'm done with these basic drills, I will involve the player in more live-action game-like scenarios that involve more complex movement like dribbling up the floor into a slightly contested pull-up jumpshot. At the end of the workout I usually like to involve my players in a burner which is an exercise that is more physically demanding than the others and helps push them beyond their limit.
