KYLE ANDERSON'S EXCLUSIVE IYB WORKOUT



Kent Culuko has been training McDonald's All-American, KYLE ANDERSON for the past 5 years.  IYB Has expanded it's already impressive line-up of trainers by adding DJ Sackmann and Benjamin Allen to the mix.

Kyle, has lost just 4 games in his High School career and just 1 in the last 3 seasons.  The amount of work and dedication invested by him on his game, has produced one of the top players, if not the best high school player in the country.

We charted his every shot during the workout and he made an incredible 79% including shots from behind the arch during live drills.  As a 6'8" Point Guard, the ceiling for success is limitless for this young man who will be attending UCLA in the fall of 2012.

KYLE ANDERSON - McDONALDS ALL-AMERICAN

















CONGRATULATIONS TO KYLE ANDERSON on being selected as a 
McDonalds All-American student athlete for the class of 2012.

Kyle has trained with Kent Culuko and IYB since his early grade school years and 
his team, ST. Anthony's has just repeated as TOC of NJ CHAMPIONS.

Listen as LeBron James narrates his introduction and see what makes Kyle not only a 
great player but also a great person.  With hard work, dedication, and a great support
 group around him, there is no telling how high his star can rise.  

Kyle will be attending UCLA in the fall and hopefully an NBA arena near you shortly 
after.

Kent Culuko, IYB President and personal trainer to Kyle Anderson and Tariq Carey took some time to support his students last night at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford as they won yet another Tournament of Champions Title for St. Anthony's of Jersey City by defeating Plainfield HS 66-62.  Kyle finished his 3 year career at St. Anthony's, the NUMBER 1 RANKED High School program in the nation, with only 1 loss and is considered by many to be the highest rated point guard in the national class of 2012.  He will be attending UCLA in the fall.  Tariq has yet to decide which school he will attend but is considering LaSalle, Southern Methodist University, and Texas Christian University among others according to ESPN.

While at the game Kent also spent a few minutes with VCU Coach Shaka Smart. Kent played at James Madison University who also competes in the Colonial Athletic Association against Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).
