Nerves at the Olympics!

Nerves aren’t something you eliminate; they’re something you learn to manage.

Olympic gymnast .Marlowe shares how mental training helped her stay calm under pressure, even with a billion eyes on her. From reading and listening to music simultaneously to practicing full-body relaxation, she trained her brain to perform in chaos instead of fighting it. These same techniques can help any performer, whether you’re stepping on stage, walking into an interview, or dancing in front of a crowd.

Hear more of Melissa’s story on Dance Dad with John Corella and learn how elite athletes turn nerves into fuel.

When former Olympian Melissa Marlowe talks about the 1988 Olympic controversy and the bronze medal that was taken away, she isn’t just retelling history — she’s reliving it. What happens when an athlete’s defining moment is rewritten overnight? And how do you find strength when the spotlight fades, but the memory never does?

In this episode, Melissa joins John Corella to open up about the discipline, artistry, and resilience that defined her career. From the power in her legs and feet to the mindset that kept her grounded under pressure, she reveals how a balance of toughness and kindness from her coaches shaped her longevity in a sport built on precision and risk — and how she’s come to redefine what success truly means.

Why The Turn Coach Doesn’t Follow The Rules!

Sometimes the method everyone says is “wrong” is the one that actually works. Lynnrae Hiers Serra, known to dancers everywhere as built her career by challenging the old-school idea that you have to master technique before you can move forward. Her philosophy? Teach the mechanics first, let dancers do it, and the polish will follow.

That mindset has turned skeptics into believers… and students into Broadway, Cirque du Soleil, and UDA dance team performers. As she puts it, after 24 years of results, there’s nothing left to prove.

Catch this moment from the latest episode of the Dance Dad with John Corella podcast to hear why trusting your process (even when it’s unpopular) can take you further than playing it safe ever will.

From the rib cage to the collarbones, she shows how true artistry comes from mastering the mechanics behind the movement.

This isn’t about tricks for show. It’s about discipline, coordination, and the mindset that keeps dancers evolving long after class ends. Hear Lynnrae share why the intersection of art and sport is where the magic of dance really lives on the latest episode of the Dance Dad with John Corella podcast.
