Most people reading this article have thought about hiring a Rocket League coach or ranking up fast. However, you might not be sure where to find the right person. You might also have some questions about what to look for in a coach. We’ll answer all your questions in this short guide!
Most RL coaches use freelancing platforms such as Fiverr or specialized sites such as WeCoach. From the two choices, we’d recommend specialized coaching sites as they have a much stricter vetting system. For example, the biggest issue with Fiverr is that just about anyone can post an ad.
Specialized sites are also much better in terms of filters. You can easily sift through dozens of available coaches based on their nickname, price, language, and role. When you land on a coach’s page, you’ll find a lot of information about their accolades, experience, availability, and other relevant information.
These are some of the main things you should consider before hiring an RL coach:
Make sure that the person is in the same time zone as you. While you might cooperate well with someone from another region, this isn't ideal for several reasons.
First, the connection might lag for one or both of you. There's also a good chance that one of you will be tired. This will be an issue during live coaching when both of you have to be at the top of your games.
For example, if you're tired, you might underperform, making it look like you need more help. On the other hand, your coach might provide subpar feedback due to exhaustion. Being in different time zones will also make coordinating with other daily duties harder.
Your coach should always be a higher rank than you. While the person doesn't have to be a pro, they should be ranked high enough to have a solid understanding of various concepts, strategies, meta, and teamwork.
Look for people who have participated in community tournaments or worked as coaches for professional or amateur teams. These professionals should come with excellent references from their peers.
Find a person who shares your playstyle. If you're more of an offensive player, go with an aggressive coach, and vice versa. The best way to figure this out is to interview candidates and ask them outright.
However, playstyle might be one of the less critical considerations. Even if you're a defensive player, you might gain good insights from an aggressive coach. Working with a coach with a different playstyle will help you understand players with different mentalities, allowing you to counter them.
Once you get to a specialized site, here’s what you need to do to find the right coach:
As mentioned, WeCoach is one of the best platforms for finding Rocket League coaches and training for other games. We use various filters and vet our pros, ensuring you have access to only the best talent.
