Coaching

Looking to get better at The Pokémon Trading Card Game? I have experience coaching 100s of players to improve their skills, and have refined my approach on how best to teach advanced concepts such as sequencing, prize mapping, deck building, and more.

My job as a coach is to work with you to achieve your goals as a player. They could be as small as getting ready to play your first local tournament, or as large as earning an invitation to the World Championships. Whatever they are, I am confident I can work with you to help you become a better Pokémon player!

If you’re interested in coaching feel free to reach out to me to see if it makes sense for you. If you’re ready to book check out the link below!

FAQ

  • That is up to you! I can help guide you if you aren't sure exactly what you are looking for. I will say, the best sessions are ones where you come prepared with questions and specific things you want to work on.

    Some example sessions could be as follows:

    • We go over board states or puzzles to analyze and improve your gameplay

    • You screen share and we play games on a simulator or Pokémon TCG Live where you walk me through your thought process and I give you my perspective/tips

    • We discuss your deck list, the reasoning behind every card, and my thoughts on how to get to the optimal 60

    • If you want to test a certain matchup, I can have you play games against me and we can discuss the best way to approach the matchup with your deck

    • I answer any questions you have about what a tournament is going to be like and my tips for being successful and having fun!

    • You come with pre-recorded VODs of some games and we can walk through them together

  • No! I work with players of all skill levels. I have a lot of experience helping players who are fairly new to the game build their fundamentals from the ground up.

  • I normally use Google Meets or Discord, but am open to other communication platforms. I normally use ptcgsim.online to play games and go over scenarios. I also use PTCG Live if requested

  • Due to demand, I am unfortunately not able to offer in person coaching at this time. This may change in the future, but for now I conduct sessions online.
