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?šÆ
Let me tell you about a player with a similar problemā¦
šÆFrom Diamond 1 and "Coaching Doesn't Work" to Peaking Champ 2

You read the titleā¦
Meet Hayden aka āBurntEndsā one of our students who went from Diamond 1 to Champ 2.
But it wasnāt 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:
š¢ Inconsistency: Struggled with maintaining consistent gameplay and rank.
š® Mechanical Limits: Difficulty mastering advanced mechanics.
š¤ Overwhelmed: Knew he had to improveā¦ but didnāt know where to start.
š 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?
š 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¦ š
Hayden explained that his coach could show him all the mechanics in the worldā¦ but when Hayden was trying to do it, his coachās advice wasnāt working.

Have you ever asked a friend for help and felt the same way? LOL
The point is, thereās a big difference between being a good player and being a good coach.
š¤ Thatās 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. š

š TLDR; not ALL RL advice is helpful. Just because someone is a great player, doesnāt 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 youāre friend tells you āI just ball chase and that works for meā maybe take their advice with a grain of saltā¦ LOL
šļø But if you donāt have someone you can go to or youāre tired of searching for a higher ranked player you can trustā¦
