We’re excited to welcome Pete Pearson to the Own Touch Team!

Pete joins us as our new Assistant Technical Director, bringing not only top-level experience as a player, but also a deep understanding of how to develop athletes both on the field and in their mindset.

Originally from Virginia Beach, Pete had a standout college career—first at UVA, where he won a National Championship, and then at VCU. His professional journey has taken him through several clubs including Tormenta FC, Greenville Triumph, Des Moines Menace, and currently Duluth FC.

On the international stage, Pete represents the Saint Lucia National Team, competing in World Cup Qualifiers, Nations League, and Gold Cup tournaments.

Now at Own Touch, Pete is playing a key role in bringing our updated methodology to life—helping players build strong technical foundations that translate directly into real game situations. His focus isn’t just on touches or technique in isolation, but on how those skills connect with decision-making, spatial awareness, and intelligent movement on the field. Pete helps players think faster, play smarter, and compete with confidence. He has a unique ability to challenge each player in a way that’s age-appropriate, clear, and deeply rooted in game reality.

More than just a coach, Pete is a mentor—someone who meets players where they are and helps them evolve with purpose.
