WELCOME TO TUMBLE DOCTOR
We Are All Humans; We Are All Subjected to Laws of Gravity, Friction, Air Resistance, Inertia, Tension, Etc. These External Constants Dictate the Way We Live and The Way We Tumble.
Inner Drive Is the Dominating Variable Distinguishing A Good Athlete from A Great One.
— Alvin Davis Jr, Tumble Doctor™

about COACH ALVIN
❝ Do or do not.
there is no try. ❞
– Yoda, Star wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
My gymnastics career was propagated by a zealous father who strongly believed that he could teach his three-year-old son a back handspring.
My father tied a belt around my waist and told me to try and throw myself backward. My mother told me that she watched as her ‘baby boy’ proceeded to jump back and land on his neck.
My father told me to try again, but my mom said, “No! He needs a professional to help him so he doesn’t end up in a wheelchair.”Thee next day, I enrolled in a gymnastics class.
I trained as a competitive gymnast for 10 years. I graduated college with a Microbiology and Molecular Genetics degree from Michigan State University. I matriculated into medical school for a year, but I decided to drop out after the first year, much to my parents’ chagrin.
After coaching gymnastics for a year, I enrolled in Michigan State University’s Broad School of Business, where I obtained an MBA in Finance.
I have had the opportunity to train athletes and teams worldwide. I strongly believe that my tenure as a competitive gymnast grants me a competitive advantage over most tumble coaches, who, like my father, have the best intentions but can lack the know-how to train and spot athletes.
