As you might have gathered from the title, I’m offering free coaching! Now, I’m not the best player out there, and I have never coached properly before (unless you consider me shouting at my friends “coaching”). However, I have been consistently high on SEA and have a decent enough understanding of the game and the metagame to help lower leagues.
Why am I doing this? This is like a trial. I want to see if I can actually coach decently. If I’m able to (and if I enjoy it), I’ll be continuing this in the future, and maybe one day I’ll start charging money. But more importantly, I want to give something back to the community ♥.
Anyway, about the lessons themselves. Firstly, I’ll only be coaching players from silver to masters (unless you can give me a really good reason otherwise). Bronze players’ problems are mostly weak mechanics and not playing enough games on the ladder. I want to be focusing on strategy, not telling you to build probes and not get supply blocked. players shouldn’t need coaching – they should have the ability to reflect on their weaknesses and improve themselves.
I want the lessons to be what you want. Everyone learns differently, so I need you to tell me how you want to be taught to make it worth your time. This could be replay analysis and discussion, instructing you in a practise game, helping you refine a build order, teaching you an opening, etc. Whatever you want, but you have to tell me first so I can prepare beforehand.
I’ll be doing this for the first 4 weekends of September (1-2, 8-9, 15-16, 22-23). Two people each weekend at whatever time works for us. Maybe more people if I have time. So that’s a minimum of 8 people. Each lesson will be around an hour, maybe longer if it’s necessary.
If you’re interested, post below with: Name: SC2 alias + code: (eg aLtdelete.955) Skype: (you must have skype and a microphone) League: (also, protoss players only if that isn’t obvious) Matchup: (PvT, PvP, PvZ only one please) Time: (What days? What times, in AEST? If you don’t have a preference for a weekend, please mention this so you won’t clash with others who do have a preference) Additional information: (this is where you tell me how you want the lesson to be done, what you want to focus on, etc. Tell me your problems. The clearer you explain yourself here, the more efficient the lesson will be)
Well, I should also mention that I was lying when I said this is free. At the end, I’ll need you to give me some feedback, because just like how you are learning the game, I am learning to teach. This feedback doesn’t have to be too much, just a few sentences. Was it good, was it bad, what did you like, what did you dislike, was it worth your time, etc.
I’ll be using this to improve my coaching, and as testimonials if I decide to continue coaching.
Any questions? Post below.
