Thaigo Nanuk, FCA Gems, nominated for National Cheer Coach of the Year
“Coach Thiago Nanuk is not only a remarkable coach, but cares about every athlete he coaches or comes into contact with. He brings a focus and leadership to all training that not only allows the athlete to progress but to grow healthy in the sport.
Coach Thiago does not tell a parent or athlete what they want to hear, but what they need to do as a collective party to achieve their desired skill level and cheer goals. Everyone wants to attend Worlds and Coach Thiago will have you set that goal and climb to it one level at a time beginning at the bottom until you become a World athlete.
If you need help with strength and endurance, he will give you things to do outside to build those areas. He sets goals for athletes, demonstrates by his ability to focus and concentrate, and how the athlete can master those skills in and out of the gym. Coach Thiago will take the weakest athlete (or team) and make them strong, while encouraging the strongest to help the weakest to grow.
Coach Thiago makes a difference in athlete's lives that stays with them as they move pass cheering nationally to College and Professional. His influence transfers and provides a leadership that allows every athlete to perform not only well, but with their best ability feeling they are part of a team whether you win or lose. Coach Thiago views everyone as a winner.
The best gift of all is his ability to drill the athlete before just throwing skills. He is not about levels but your ability to throw skills properly with good technique.
Coach Thigao is not big with conversation, and lets his work show on the mat or at a competition. On and off the stage he is your biggest cheerleader whether you are at his gym or another gym. He instills "make sure you focus on how the skill was taught, and it will flow with great technique and land you success".”
