Testimonials

"What a challenging weekend! For both of us. I left thinking you made huge progress with her. She might have not physically reached her goals with you. But mentally I think you broke through to her. Not one coach has ever sat down to talk it out or force her to think about the why. We had a six hour delay at the airport and gave us plenty of time to talk. You opened the door for us. She was more willing to open up to me, than she has been in the past. But she still just keeps says “I don’t know why”. I try to stay quiet and let her just talk. "

"Thank you for your reel about Heather ❤️ 💪 She struggles with feeling like because her tumbling skills haven't progressed as fast as others have that she's "failing " but after watching your video she realizes that her efforts are validated and has renewed confidence that she will get there... This video came up at the perfect time. We are beyond grateful for you!!"

"I've been teaching tumbling since 2001. Your way of thinking and explaining has helped me become a better coach! Thank yOU!"

"Thank you so much for your wisdom. I also want to thank you for giving my daughter the ounce of hope for her to start thriving again."

"Thank YOU! She says you are amazing! The way you explain things is like walking in the fog and then having everything cleared up. That’s what she said!"

"Hi Coach Lain! Last year around this time, you were helping me navigate through my mental block on my round-off tuck. This year, I can confidently say that’s a skill I have conquered, AND I am cleaning up my standing tuck. I was making a video on my standing tuck evolution, and then I started to remember the reason I was able to get this far. The phrase, “You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable,” is something that hasn’t left my mind since we last talked. This is something I apply on and off the mat, and as a non-confrontational person, this has helped me in an abundance of ways. I really am just sending you this to say thank you, because without you and your words of wisdom, I don't think I would’ve ever been able to be where I am now! ❤️ "

"Gabrielle tried out for [her all-star team] this past week...and was able to throw her LEVEL 4 tumbling w/o a spot or anyone on the floor. She wanted you to know. Big strides going on here!! But what was even more amazing is that one of the nights, she got into the car and said “well I did a RO rebound and didn’t do my tumbling on my first pass, but then I started over and did it.  I knew I could do it. I know I will do better tomorrow.”  It was so amazing to hear her say that!!"

"Can't say enough good things about how helpful the way Coach Lain explains fear to athletes is, how it helps them understand processing those thoughts and working with those feelings vs pushing against them. Really helpful tools my daughter is using as she comes back from an injury."

"We had the privilege of working with Coach Lain in person over a 2 day session. His passion for helping athletes overcome these types of fears over tumbling and surrounding issues is apparent in everything he does. He was so patient and kind to my daughter; motivated her and made her feel comfortable to really dig deep and understand what was at the core of this problem. Coach Lain was also able to provide some insight in what he observed was contributing, and some techniques to calm her nervous system. She left feeling empowered instead of overwhelmed, and feeling positive about getting her level of tumbling back instead of being defeated. We are looking forward to working with Coach Lain again!"

"Coach Lain and I spoke during my daughters senior year where she had issues tumbling after tumbling for years during her allstar career. It was quick and sudden to us. What felt like over a few days she went from doing layouts and twisting down to backhandsprings. With a friend's recommendation we spoke with him and over a course of a few months of virtual sessions with Coach Lain and uncovering what triggered her to ultimately stop tumbling. She is stepping back into her tumbling passes more Confidentiality than ever. What we thought was a mental block, was not, and with his help and guidance shes learned so much about herself in these short 4 months. We cant thank him enough and we highly recommend him to any parent, athlete, or coaches needing help on breaking through difficulties or challenges that you may be facing. "

"I actually contacted coach Lain via Instagram after following him on social media for several months. I had a cheerleader who had a “mental block” about tumbling and Coach Lain gave me some great advice to help her. I’ve never met him in person, but that didn’t stop him from helping me out with my cheerleader. He is a great guy with great advice!"

"Coach Lain was clear and right on the money! I brought my entire team to listen and take notes; then I requested they ask at least 1-2 questions to actively get answers to their struggles with tumbling and WOW!! After 4 of them the line didn’t stop, they started to trust him, respect him, and then everyone wanted a piece of it. I loved watching each cheerleader get answers and implement what they were told the next day at practice, 6 of them improved immediately! So impressed with how kind and firm he was and just built that relationship and trust with pure understanding. I plan to give this Christmas gift to my team every year!! Thanks Coach Lain!!"

"Coach Lain is an amazing person who has used his experience from not only his cheerleading career but also his life to really help connect with athletes to get them in a place to where they can fully understand the skill they are learning. He comes in with great energy and a great playlist that is able to get everyone moving and motivated for the day. He's very approachable and has a great eye for technique! The kids also had a blast with Coach Lain and by the end of the day they didn't want him to leave! He also made sure that he gave some great advice on the importance of technique and a confident mindset. Its also safe to say that every athlete improved that day and some even got a few new skills in one session. The way that he breaks down the skills is so simple yet precise that makes it really easy to teach the mind how to control the body so that the athlete is confidant and prepared for the skill. By the end of our session he had instilled something in everyone he worked with! Coaches and kids! I would highly recommend Coach Lain to anyone looking for a fun, interactive, and motivational tumbling clinic!"

"We just ended our first virtual lesson! I was beyond impressed, as I know my daughter was too! Coach Lain took the time to break down my daughters’ fears and her skills to explain it in a way she understands. He was very positive , reassuring with her and encouraged her with her skills and her mind frame to thrive! We ended the training session with new technique drills provided!! She will put some hours in, and we look forward to booking our next session already! Highly recommend Coach Lain! Thank you so much!!!!"

"His patience, positive attitude, understanding, and coaching style. We need more Coach Lain's."

"As a parent, the 1:1 virtual time with Coach Lain gave me a better understanding of what my daughter is experiencing when it comes to tumbling stress and how to best support her. It was definitely a great experience worth having, as we also learned about the science connected to tumbling anxiety. I would recommend this to others who are looking for a different way to support their athlete."

"My virtual session with Coach Lain was cool. Instead of working on tumbling skills, we really talked about the emotions I was feeling around tumbling. This was different from working on the skill in the gym. He helped me see things I didn't think about before and gave me different drills to work on in the gym."

"Coach Lain is so positive and reassuring,the mental performance piece he provides was so helpful to my athlete understanding what may be holding her back and to overcome the obstacles.Highly recommend"

"We cannot adequately express our gratitude. He is truly exceptional. Alena has regained the confidence to perform skills she previously found intimidating, to the point where she would completely shut down. She is now able to execute them effectively, having gained insight into the root causes of her fear, and she finally understands the why method and utilizes it . Let me tell you, today she executed the skill perfectly and confidently with no hesitation. After one lesson, Lain changed her mindset and gave her back her ability to perform skills she had not done in months. Coach Lain comes highly recommended."
