What actually happens during coaching? A thread 🧵
The best players aren’t just skilled—they’re coachable.

🚩 Ignoring feedback?
🚩 Blaming others?
🚩 Refusing to self-reflect?

Drop the ego. Stay teachable. Growth requires humility. #MindsetMatters

Scrims ≠ real matches. If you don’t train under pressure, you won’t perform under pressure. Add stress-based drills to prepare for high-stakes play.

The fastest way to get ahead? Ask for feedback. Most people avoid it, but those who seek it out and apply it grow exponentially faster.

Are your VOD reviews useless? Stop watching just to “see what happened.” Instead, ask: What decision could I have made differently? Be intentional.

Small habits = Big results. The difference between stagnation and growth is the discipline to stick to a plan, track progress, and adapt when needed. What’s one habit that has helped your performance?

Your network is your greatest asset. Whether you're aiming for a promotion, switching industries, or launching something new, the right connections can accelerate your journey. Who’s in your circle?

Feeling stuck? Career pivots aren’t failures; they’re strategic moves. The key is identifying transferable skills and knowing how to position yourself for the next step.

Your biggest opponent? Your own mindset. Self-doubt, hesitation, and fear of failure hold more people back than skill gaps. Training your mind is just as important as training your craft.

Transitioning form esports to college or a corporate job? You’re not starting from scratch. The problem-solving, adaptability, and mental resilience you’ve built are real assets. The key is learning how to translate them.

Performance is Built Outside the Game Too 🏋️‍♂️
🔹 Poor sleep? Slower reaction time.
🔹 Bad diet? Decreased endurance.
🔹 No exercise? Worse mental resilience.

Your habits outside of gaming affect your performance inside it. Optimize both.

🎯 Set specific targets each session
🔍 Review mistakes and adjust
📈 Track your growth. Stay focused and intentional.

Morals aren't morals if they change based on someone's status (i.e. family, peer, etc.)

At that point they are no different than opinions

How is the esports scene on @bsky.app? As a performance coach I'm extremely curious about everyone's perceptions on the app
