Raymond P.

Hi! My name is Raymond Pearsall. I’m a former multi-sport varsity athlete (baseball, football, and track) with nearly 20 years of coaching experience across youth sports—including club, rec center, middle school, and high school softball; club baseball; middle school track; and flag football.

My passion is helping young athletes build both their minds and bodies in ways that support their long-term growth in sports. I primarily work with novice athletes, focusing on teaching strong fundamentals in mechanics and movement—key building blocks for building confidence and performance.

With a holistic approach to performance mindset is just as important as physical execution.

Would love to hear from you to see if working with your athlete would be a good fit!

I was a multi sport varsity athlete in high school in the San Francisco Bay Area. Baseball, Football and Track.

During my time in San Francisco I had the opportunity to work in the Giants player clubhouse as an assistant. So I got to see and experience what it takes to execute at the highest level firsthand. Fundamentals are key!

Each session is built to help young athletes move better, get faster, and feel more confident in their abilities—whether they’re new to sports or looking to level up. Sessions usually run about 60 to 90 minutes and are designed to be challenging, fun, and age-appropriate.

1. Warm-Up & Activation (10–15 minutes)
We start every session with a full-body dynamic warm-up that helps the athlete wake up their muscles and joints. This includes light jogging, mobility drills, and movement patterns like skips, high knees, and lunges. The goal is to prep the body and mind for quality work.

2. Movement & Form Work (15–20 minutes)
Here, we focus on teaching proper movement mechanics—how to run efficiently, land safely, and move with control. Drills are broken down in a way that helps young athletes understand how to use their bodies better, with a focus on posture, arm action, and footwork.

3. Speed, Agility & Plyos (20–30 minutes)
This is the most active part of the session. We use fun, fast-paced drills to improve acceleration, change of direction, balance, and reaction time. Think short sprints, cone drills, quick-feet work, and explosive jumps—all safely progressed based on the athlete’s ability and confidence.

4. Strength & Core (10–15 minutes)
We work on bodyweight strength and core control, which are crucial at this age as their bodies are growing. Exercises include squats, lunges, push-ups, planks, and partner work—always with an emphasis on form and control, not heavy weight.

5. Conditioning or Sport-Specific Finish (5–10 minutes)
Depending on the athlete’s sport or season, we may finish with a short conditioning game, light circuits, or skills tailored to their goals (like short bursts for soccer, jumping for volleyball, or footwork for baseball).

6. Cool Down & Recovery (5–10 minutes)
We wrap up with guided stretches and breathing exercises to help the athlete recover and reduce soreness. We also talk briefly about hydration, sleep, and healthy habits to support training outside of the session.
