Jon Wall Hired As Runnin’ Rebels’ Strength & Conditioning Coach

Wall comes to the Runnin’ Rebels after serving as a strength and conditioning coach for the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers during the 2004-25 season. Prior to his time in L.A., Wall was the performance coach for Las Vegas’s G League Ignite from 2022-24.

“Jon is a tremendous addition to our program,” Pastner said. “His experience in the NBA and his commitment to athlete development align perfectly with our vision for the Runnin’ Rebels. I am confident that under his guidance, our student-athletes will reach new heights in their physical performance and success on the court.”

Wall was also the Director of Athlete Performance at Pacific from 2018-22, where he worked with men’s basketball and men’s golf. While there, he also oversaw the operation of two athlete performance facilities and implemented programs for 17 varsity sports along with managing the department budget for facility equipment and nutrition.

“My family and I moved to Las Vegas almost three years ago and it immediately became home for us,” Wall said. “We felt the hospitality from day one and quickly found that this community was right for us. I could not possibly be more excited to have the opportunity to join Coach Pastner’s staff as we look to build something truly special here.”

Wall earned his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Cal Baptist in 2015 and a master’s in applied exercise science from Concordia in 2018.
