Today we’d like to introduce you to Isaac Allred.
Hi Isaac, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Ever since I was a little kid I have dreamed of being a tumbler. I remember teaching myself my back handspring when I was 6 years old. I have gone to several gyms looking for a tumbling coach, but have found that I am my best teacher. Tumbling and acrobatics have always felt second nature to me. My skills came to me very easily and I’m not sure why.
Along with acrobatics and tumbling, I began to explore hand-balancing and contortion, finding that my body had a great sense of balance and flexibility. I began to share my acro videos on Instagram, I was blown away when my training videos started getting hundreds of thousands of views. My Instagram platform @isaacallredd currently has a following of over 26,000.
As I became a teenager, I always struggled to find a sport that matched my talents and unique abilities. I found Cheerleading, my tumbling and flexibility finally matched with a sport. As a freshman in high school, I won the 2020 Utah Jump Off.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
At first, I struggled to find a tumbling coach but soon realized that I am my best teacher. Finding a sport that matched my talents was also difficult until I found cheerleading.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am known for being a self-taught Tumbler, Acrobat, and Hand-balancer.
My Instagram, where I post my training, has a following of over 26,000 followers and has had hundreds of thousands of viewers.
What are your plans for the future?
I plan to be a collegiate cheerleader. I will continue to try to inspire others that you don’t need a coach or mentor to become the best athlete you can be.
