Accounts from confirmed relationships
“Younger junior players whose families want a coach who's still learning the craft alongside their child rather than a senior pro who's seen it all. Lin's attention to my daughter has been remarkable. We recommend her without reservation for kids her age.”

A parent of one of the coach’s players, over 20 months. Relationship confirmed before publication.

A parent of one of the coach’s players, over 8 months. Relationship confirmed before publication.
