Support the Team

Help us Bring Passion, Value, Expertise, and Professionalism to Every Corner of the Globe, and reach cheerleading teams in need worldwide!

In 2021, cheerleading became a

WORLDWIDE SPORT!

Help support our mission to bring quality, value-based tumbling instruction to those parts of the international cheerleading community that need it the most!

This fund would be our ticket to getting to where our expertise, support, and instructional guidance is needed most! No more waiting for someone to confirm an event or booking. Now, we go where we choose as soon as we’re needed, and clubs, gyms, programs, and teams no longer have to wait excessively for the help they so desperately need!

One-time donations are greatly appreciated of course, but our real impact will be made through the kindness and support of our monthly donors! For less than a Netflix subscription, you can help us make a real impact on a global scale! We’re not just lookin’ to teach kids to flip…we’re aiming to inspire movement!

Please note: Donations are not tax-deductible. 100% of contributions go directly toward funding travel and service expenses for under-resourced teams.

It started with a simple desire:
Travel the world doing what I love most. But then the need was revealed, and my desire became my MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION!

Every day, I’m inundated with DM’s and emails from coaches, parents, and athletes around the globe asking the same question, “Do you ever come to [Insert country here]?” And my answer has always been the same: “If I’m invited to.” Because that’s always been the only option afforded me as a traveling technique and mental performance consultant - I go where I’m paid to.

There’s only one issue with this - most international clubs simply don’t have the resources to both pay for my services, travel, and accommodations.

But as time goes on and my influence continues to grow, I realize that the solution to helping more might be easier than I’ve been making it over all these years.

So I finally asked myself…

What if my nearly 200k followers gave just $1/month?

We would get
The Coach Lain Travel Fund!

I asked my Instagram audience:

What would it mean for me and my Tumble Team to visit your Club or Program?

  • I think it will improve our way to work, because many coaches outside of the US do this - learn from videos like yours and try to copy/paste what we see in the best way possible. But having the experience to ask questions and work with someone who has more experience and knowledge [can] open your eyes and give you another perspective of how to do things and how to work differently.

    Emerson D.A., Costa Rica

  • You coming to our gym, the smaller little sister Milton location of the massive Cheer Sport Sharks, would be huge! Your drills bring new perspective and ideas which result in better form and skills!

    Rachel, Ottowa, Canada

  • You know we would do anything to have you come to Birmingham so [my daughter] could have the opportunity to work with you! It would mean more to us than anything! I know just a day of in-person training with you would change her completely and progress her more than I could ever imagine and benefit her so much! 🤩

    Nancy M., Mother, Alabama

  • Having my daughter work with you would be such a gift! She’s part of a level 7 all girls team at Flyers All-Starz cheerleading in Montreal, Canada. Please make this happen! 🙏🏻🤞🏻

    Mélanie B., Montreal, Canada

  • It would mean PROGRESS. It would be potential to get fresh eyes and open minds into a very closed and sometimes negative place. Progress and positivity into these children’s lives.

    Amber J., New Jersey, USA

  • I think if you were to come to Germany and work with teams who aren’t fortunate enough to have their own gyms (there are a few of those, but they’re rare), you could help athletes and coaches to learn appropriate drills, technique, and progressions to do with minimal equipment it would benefit the sport throughout the country!

    Michelle V., Germany

  • Having you come to my gym in Wales, UK would be amazing! We are a small but mighty gym with high-performing athletes. Learning world class techniques and mental strength and resilience from you would be a dream come true, to help us be the best we can be and to continue to rise & be competitive in the world. Please come to Gymfinity! Thank you! 🫶🏾

    Sade, Gymfinity, UK

  • Coach Lain and his tumbling team coming to my gym would immensely change my tumbling and confidence, I know with his drills & feedback that I would improve even just a little bit that would drastically improve my tumbling that I’ve worked so hard all these years to achieve

    Sky, Tigers Athletics, Ontario, Canada

  • To have you and your team come to our gym - that would mean the world!! Tumbling is something we really do struggle with and it is keeping us form being able to advance and evolve as a gym and for out teams. That also results in us losing athletes to other gyms as soon as they learn higher skills. So the simple answer is the world!

    Rising Cheer Athletics, Sweden

  • Having you guys at our gym would reignite the tumbling fire in our athletes and our coaches 👍❤️

    Warrington Cheer Storm, UK

  • It would mean further coach development for our staff, and hearing new corrections from a new voice, which is great for any athlete!

    CA Flyers, Australia

  • I coach a high school cheer team (military installation). The only access we have to tumbling is one gymnastics gym and even that is severely limited! We’d love to have someone come do some tumbling sessions!

    Heather B., Germany

  • Come to Cheer Sport Sharks in Milton, Ontario, Canada!!! We are going through the bumps of moving to a new space and, so our athletes could use your help!

    H. Bell, Ontario, Canada

  • Please do visit us in Bangalore, India. It would be fantastic!

    Reshma, Bangalore, India

  • It would mean a lot if you came to Australia!! I come from a martial arts background, and have followed your videos for a while. I love your methodical and patient teaching method! There's also very few places that teach adults here so it's hard to get the level of personalised and detailed that I can see from your videos.

    Melissa, Martial Artist, Australia

Imagine the possibilities!

With The Coach Lain Travel Fund, my goal is to raise money directly from my audience that will allow for me and my Tumble Team to travel to the areas who’ve requested our services the most! From Australia to Brazil, France to Norway, and all over the United States, we’ve received requests from coaches, clubs, parents, and gyms around the world pleading for help! With The Coach Lain Travel Fund, we’ll now be able to give them that help without having to wait for them to raise the funds to bring us out!

Every quarter, we’ll identify a country or state we’ve received multiple inquiries from and set up multiple camps in that area. Your monthly donation will help to cover the cost of our travel & accommodations.

You’ll ALWAYS KNOW where your donation is going!

Know where every cent of your donation is going with our quarterly financial breakdowns delivered right to your inbox! We believe in full transparency with our donors, because without YOU and your continued support, none of this would be possible!!!

With your monthly donation, you’ll be helping us to…

    I’m contacted daily by programs in rural areas with little access to the resources we all take for granted and the funds needed to get the help they need! Help us reach those beyond our current ability!

    I cannot begin to tell you how often I receive messages of adoration from cheer athletes around the world expressing what being coached by Coach Lain would mean to them!

The Need for Proper

Instruction Abroad is

SERIOUS!

Back in 2016, I was contacted by a follower from Singapore. I’d mentioned that I’d wanted to start working with international teams and would LOVE to come over and host a camp for their cheerleaders. While my follower loved the idea, I could sense there was some hesitance to us moving forward with making plans. Finally, after a short correspondence over the next few days, he came forth with the reason behind his apprehension.

Two years prior, Lai Qing Xiang, an 18 year old student from the Ngee Ann Polytechnic team Maximum Force, had tragically passed away from complications sustained while tumbling at a practice. As a result, a spotlight had been placed on cheerleading in Singapore, and tumbling was no longer allowed.

On Tuesday, State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid gave his verdict on the tragic case. He highlighted the lack of safety measures, such as proper guidance and first aid facilities, for cheerleading which "has evolved dramatically" into a competitive, dangerous sport with complex stunts.

The verdict echoed what some have been calling for: tighter controls and proper accreditation for the activity which has become more popular among students here. ~ Pear Lee, The Straits Times, January 2016

While this unfortunate event did set forth some very necessary safety and oversight measures for cheerleading in Singapore, it echoed a problem shared by countries around the world - an overall lack of access to proper instruction, safety training, and a greater misconception of what the American sport requires of its participants amongst lawmakers, politicians, and parents.

During my last visit to Stockholm, I was given a ride to one of our practices by one of the club’s cheer dads. During our car ride, we struck up a very familiar conversation - how shocking it was to him how athletic and involved the activity of cheerleading actually is! He told me that before his daughter joined her cheer club, he like many dads in Sweden was under the impression that cheerleading was nothing more than what he’d seen depicted in American movies - sideline cheerleaders who did nothing more than “Rah Rah!” and wear short skirts. But he remarked how now he brags to his mates how his daughter trains harder than their kids who swim and play futbol. And he was grateful that I was there, as an American trainer with specialized knowledge and expertise, to help train his daughter and the other girls at the club, to help keep them safe while they tumbled.

And the need is no different in any other country, including here in America!

The truth is, while it appears cheerleading is more organized and widely regarded in the United States, we face the same issues the clubs around the world face. There is no unified governing body in the United States that conducts oversight of instructor training, safety standards, or getting those gyms who NEED help the most qualified training!

And while anything close to this might still be a bit far off, with your help we can get me and my Tumble Team of hand-picked highly specialized trainers to the clubs, gyms, and programs around the country and the world where our help is needed most!
