Feeling stuck? Trying everything... but nothing sticks?

From Diamond 1 and "Coaching Doesn't Work" to Champ 2

A LETTER FROM LUKE:
 Feeling stuck in Rocket League? Tried everything... but nothing sticks?šŸŽÆ

Let me tell you about a player with a similar problemā€¦

šŸŽÆFrom Diamond 1 and "Coaching Doesn't Work" to Peaking Champ 2

You read the titleā€¦

Meet Hayden aka ā€˜BurntEndsā€™ one of our students who went from Diamond 1 to Champ 2.

But it wasnā€™t all sunshine and rainbowsā€¦

Back when he originally started coaching with us, Hayden was strugglingā€¦

Like many others at his level, he faced several common challenges that were slowing his progress and enjoyment of the game:

  • šŸŽ¢ Inconsistency: Struggled with maintaining consistent gameplay and rank.

  • šŸŽ® Mechanical Limits: Difficulty mastering advanced mechanics.

  • šŸ¤” Overwhelmed: Knew he had to improveā€¦ but didnā€™t know where to start.

  • šŸ›‘ Plateauing: He felt stuck and was unable to make further progress solo.

Soā€¦ we got him started with our most mechanically CRACKED coach, a CRL and pro freestyler.

Good ideaā€¦ right?

šŸš€ Not quite the best idea. The problem was, his coach was so mechanically advanced that there was a disconnect.

His coach was great at DOING the mechanicsā€¦ but not so great at TEACHING themā€¦ šŸ˜”

Hayden explained that his coach could show him all the mechanics in the worldā€¦ but when Hayden was trying to do it, his coachā€™s advice wasnā€™t working.

Have you ever asked a friend for help and felt the same way? LOL

The point is, thereā€™s a big difference between being a good player and being a good coach.

šŸ¤ Thatā€™s why earlier this year, we developed a new matchmaking process so that each of our students gets matched with the coach that is best for them.

We repaired Hayden with a new coach and restarted him for free. This is when Hayden found his current coach, SirPuf.

SirPuf was able to break down mechanics in a way that he could easily understand and the rest (+350 MMR) is history. šŸ“ˆ

šŸ”„ TLDR; not ALL RL advice is helpful. Just because someone is a great player, doesnā€™t mean they are a great coach.

Its important that you only follow advice from someone you can trust. Otherwise, you might train the wrong things and develop bad habits.

So the next time youā€™re friend tells you ā€œI just ball chase and that works for meā€ maybe take their advice with a grain of saltā€¦ LOL

šŸ‘‡ļø But if you donā€™t have someone you can go to or youā€™re tired of searching for a higher ranked player you can trustā€¦
