About Brandon ThomasCoach Brandon, owner of Zero Deductions Productions LLC, is an award-winning choreographer, coach, & music producer with over 15 years of experience in the cheerleading industry. Born and raised in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, Brandon was first introduced to competitive cheer when we was invited to watch a family friend compete at a local all-star cheer competition. Inspired by the experience, he immediately began teaching himself how to flip, twist, & jump. The following season, Brandon earned a spot on his friend’s all-star cheer team. As his love for cheer continued to grow, so did his involvement in the industry. Soon after becoming an all-star cheerleader, Brandon started coaching, experimenting with choreography, & teaching himself how to produce cheer mixes. Cheerleading had such a profound impact on his life that several years later, after gaining more experience and graduating college, he decided to turn his passion into a career and started Zero Deductions Productions!In addition to being a business owner, professional choreographer, & cheer music producer, Brandon also coaches multiple all-star cheer teams at Rebelz Cheer in Georgetown, Texas.When he isn’t doing something related to cheer, Brandon enjoys traveling, golfing, & spending time with friends, family, & his dogs. Coaching Philosophy “I never coach any two athletes, or teams, the same way. Each athlete/team is unique in their own way. I strongly believe that effective coaching starts by building a trusting relationship with the athlete(s) you’re working with. When it comes to coaching skills, I use a progressive approach & stand by the motto “perfection before progression”. An athlete’s ability to master fundamental skills has a significant impact on their motivation, confidence, and ability to learn new skills. My goal, as a coach, is to help each athlete understand the power of proper progressions and learn how to be in control of their own progress as a cheerleader!” Choreography Style “My choreography style is bold, clean, & comprehensive. I love to create memorable moments within routines and giving teams their own unique identity. I view each routine as it’s own production, with choreography & music working together seamlessly. Being a cheer music producer and choreographer, musicality has a big influence on my process when I’m creating routines. While teaching the routine itself, I want each athlete to have a great experience and really feel like play a valuable role in their routine. I enjoying figuring out ways to maximize the use of each athlete in every section of the routine so that everyone on the team is apart of the process!” Accomplishments & AwardsCHEERSPORTBest DanceElement All-Stars Youth Level 1.1 (2023)D2 SUMMITGold MedalistRebelz Cheer Senior Coed Level 4.2 (2021)Bid RecipientRebelz Cheer Senior Coed 4 (2023)Rebelz Cheer Senior 4.2 (2023)NCA ALL-STAR NATIONALS1st PlaceRaider Xtreme Senior Level 3 (2013)SOUTH DAKOTA HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ASSOCIATION (SDHSSA)1st PlaceDakota Valley High School – Small Division Class A (2023)State Runner-UpDakota Valley High School (2021)THE ONE FINALS1st PlaceTGS Shocks All-Stars Junior Level 2THE QUESTGold MedalistRuby Red Cheerleading Performance Large Rec 10-18Y (NON-AFF) Level 3.1 (2023) Certifications National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI)Green-Light Status USA CheerSafety & Risk Management Certification United States All-Star Federation (USASF)SafeSport Certified Credentials United States All-Star Federation (USASF)All-Star Cheer Building: Levels 1-6All-Star Cheer Tumbling: Levels 1-6 Education Texas Tech UniversityBachelor’s Degree in Psychology Share this:FacebookX
