About

Met as college athletes. Built CNC together.

LeBeaux and Candice met during their college athletic careers in 2012 and later married. In 2019 they founded CNC Performance in Colton, built around six core pillars designed to deliver a healthy lifestyle and proven results. When the pandemic closed school gyms and team practices, families kept coming, and that is when the gym took off.

The idea was simple: give Inland Empire athletes the kind of coaching the two of them had to leave home to find. Real programming, real accountability, and coaches who have actually stood where these athletes want to go.

Coach Candice

Candice Whetton

All-American shortstop/outfield. Builder of strong-minded athletes.

Growing up playing multiple sports, Candice discovered her passion for competition early. She committed to softball at 12, played at Eastern Arizona College, then transferred on an athletic scholarship to the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where she played shortstop and outfield and went on to become an All-American. That experience shaped her understanding of the discipline, sacrifice, confidence and consistency required to compete at a high level.

Today she brings that experience to every athlete she works with, focused on speed, agility, strength, explosiveness, coordination, conditioning and athletic confidence, while teaching the habits and mindset needed to perform at their best.

What makes Candice's approach different is her belief that athletic development is about more than what happens inside the gym. She works to help athletes become more disciplined, accountable, confident, resilient and prepared for the demands of competition and of life.

At CNC Performance, Candice is committed to creating an environment where athletes are challenged to grow, encouraged to believe in themselves, and held accountable to the standard they are capable of reaching.

The six pillars

Everything we coach comes back to six things.

Speed and strength are the output. These are the inputs: the habits and mindset that make an athlete coachable, durable and confident.

  1. Confidence

    Athletes who believe they belong on the field play faster. We build that belief rep by rep.

  2. Commitment

    Show up, do the work, hold the standard. The habit matters more than any single session.

  3. Nutrition

    Fuel is part of the program. Athletes learn what to eat to train hard and recover.

  4. Mental Health

    Pressure is real. We coach the mindset to handle it, on game day and off.

  5. Rehabilitation

    Coming back from injury the right way, with movement work that rebuilds strength safely.

  6. Perseverance

    Setbacks are part of the path. We teach athletes to keep going when it is hard.
