A little bit of backstory:

I originally designed SolveBoost not only as a bit of side-hustle for me as a teen, but to provide real, quality cubing coaching that I believed was missing from the internet. After getting some overwhelmingly positive feedback on my Written coaching services (Lite & Classic), I recently began offering more traditional 1-1 video call Sessions, to cater for those who prefer talking face to face and asking questions along the way.

Although I'm able to provide coaching to suit basically any cuber's needs, I particularly recommend my services to cubers who are: A) dedicated to achieving their 3x3 goals through consistent, targeted practice; and B) enthusiastic about A. While I'll provide fun drills and mindset tips to make the process as enjoyable as possible, it'll be more fun for both of us if you're not taking it toooo seriously in the long-run anyway :)

That being said, I don't care if you're stuck at 30 seconds and need some direction, or flying through sub-8 solves and wondering how to maintain the momentum. As your coach, I'm 100% confident that my 7-year competitive cubing experience has taught me enough to get you to that next big 3x3 milestone you're dreaming of!

"I'd say I've dropped my global by 0.3 - 0.4 down to sub-7 since joining SolveBoost so it's definitely been worth it!"

- Danny (via Discord)

"By using Jalonso's coaching for just a few weeks (especially the cross + 1 & PLL drills), my times went from 11 seconds to 9.5, and I can see even more improvement coming."

- Kendall (via Discord)

”I already went from averaging 13.5 to low 13 to mid 12, and my new PB average is 10.20 because of SolveBoost.”
