Testimonials

"Hey coach Lain!! I just wanted to tell you that I tried your handspring drills on my high school team I coach and it did wonders!! Not only did it help two athletes understand how the handspring is suppose to feel, but it helped another athlete connect her standing two to tuck! You are an amazing coach, and I want to thank you for indirectly helping me with my endeavors to be the best coach I can be. If you're ever around Anderson, SC, give me a holla!"

"I got it back coach! Thank you for everything and thank you so much for providing me with the confidence and technique I needed to get this skill. Even though this was on a spring floor they look good on dead mat too! I couldn't have done it without you 🎉😊"

"As I'm writing in my journal I really want to tell you I truly appreciate you. Like heavily. If this is what it means to have someone to be able to confide in and be vulnerable with then I have been missing out. Thank you. A million times thank you. I love you bro"

"Hi Coach Lain it’s Mia. I was just in your class. Thank you so much for making my layout better, I wish you can stay! You are the best coach I have ever had! THANK YOU!!!❤️"

"I had the best time speaking with you and listening to your amazing information and insights. Extremely grateful and cannot wait to keep working with you! Thank you so much for today and for all the amazing videos and corrections. I can't wait to start practicing!"

"Hi Coach Lain! Thank you so much for the live video you just did. I was about to go to sleep (almost midnight here in Amsterdam) and was just scrolling through Instagram a bit when your video popped up. I have to tell you that I got up from my bed to get my notebook because you were just dropping all that knowledge on me like that lol. I'm not a cheer coach, but I'm a sport instructor with a lot of insecure students. I'm also studying to become a life coach and a lot of what you're saying can be applied in so many areas of life that I had to keep watching your video. I follow you for a while now and I just wanted to let you know how grateful finding your Instagram account! I'm struggling a little bit to find the right words since English isn't my first language but I just wanted to say thank you! Have a great day and may God bless you"

"Absolutely AMAZING!! I would recommend him 10/10. He is very thorough with his drills, and his knowledge and technique helped both of my kids. He is incredibly encouraging and motivating towards the athletes. Both of my girls left wanting to know when he would be back for more private lessons! "

"Such an amazing thorough and professional understanding of youth athletes. The amount of knowledge Coach Lain has is astounding he has a way to communicate difficult concepts to kids in a way they understand all the while getting better at their sport. If there were 10 stars I’d give him 10"

"My daughter’s session with Coach Lain was incredible. He really took the time to figure out what is going on underneath the surface of her feeling uncomfortable performing skills she once did easily. Not only did she make some progress, he sent her home with tangible tools and exercises to try. and mindset shifts to help look at fear from a different lens. Looking forward to the next lesson! "

"My friends and I did our first tumbling class ever with Lain and it was such a fun experience! Lain had something fun for everyone’s level and made tumbling very accessible to adults who hadn’t done anything upside down in years. All of us left feeling challenged but also with a win. We loved this so much, we’re committed to being regulars! Highly recommend! "

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Coach Lain! In just one session, he made such a positive impact on my daughter. He helped her believe in herself, trust her abilities, and realize that she is capable of so much more than she thought. It was amazing to see the confidence my daughter walked away with after just one session. Coach Lain has such a special way of encouraging athletes, making them feel supported, and bringing out the best in them. Thank you, Coach Lain, for believing in my daughter and helping her believe in herself. Sometimes it only takes one person to see your potential before you can see it in yourself—and you did that for her. We are so grateful! 💗✨ We look forward to continuing working with you. "

"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."

"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. "
