WE BUILD ATHLETES, NOT JUST BODIES

At Smith Performance, we work with athletes of all ages — from youth competitors to elite college athletes — with one goal: to help them reach their full potential.

Our coaching staff holds a standard to where we believe each athlete should be cared for as a human rather than just as athlete. We don't just train athletes — we develop them physically, mentally, and as leaders.

MEET THE COACHES

Tanner Smith

CSCS
Head Performance Coach

Tanner Smith is the founder and owner of Smith Performance, with over 5 years of experience training athletes across all ages and levels. He currently serves as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for 5+ sports teams at Aliso Niguel High School, and has most recently worked with 20–25 college athletes preparing for the NFL Combine, as well as NFL athletes through a full off-season program.

His approach is rooted in one belief: athletes of all ages deserve to train at the highest level possible and pursue their dreams without limits. Tanner's mission is to take knowledge from the highest levels of sport and build it into systems the next generation can actually use — from middle school athletes learning to move for the first time, to professionals preparing for the biggest stage. He holds a B.S. in Kinesiology from Biola University, where he competed as an NCAA Division II swimmer, and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).

Jackson Pearson

CPT
Assistant Performance Coach

Coach Jackson is an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach at Aliso Niguel High School, currently pursuing a B.S. in Kinesiology at Concordia University, Irvine. A NASM Certified Personal Trainer, he has been coaching since age 18 — working with everyone from neurological rehabilitation patients to elite high school athletes across all sports.

His background in neuromuscular training, movement rehabilitation, and applied anatomy — deepened through internships alongside rheumatologists and primary care physicians — gives him a science-grounded approach that translates across the full spectrum of human performance. A former water polo player at Brea-Olinda High School, Jackson brings both the athlete's perspective and the coach's eye to every session.

WHAT ATHLETES SAY

"My experience with Coach Tanner without a doubt shaped me into the athlete I am today. Constantly pushing me every early morning workout, he not only motivated me to become a more mobile athlete, but a strong leader and role model for those around me."
