Hello!🌸🌸 Shoe here and I have been a professional smash player for nearly one decade at this point and excited to continue with coaching into Smash Ultimate. I plan to utilize my experience as a teacher to develop well drafted lessons that will show you how to grow successfully. I am excited to continue helping all players improve from beginners who are excited to join smash all the way to people who have tournament experience. I also want to be a coach that focuses on mentality and developing a growth mindset since Smash is a crazy game that is always varied. There is never one formula to success. In terms of my competitive achievements, I have beaten various top 50 players and am always considered a bracket threat in majors. I have been ranked number 1 in Colorado various times and once held the spot for 3 years straight. In terms of other competitive achievements, I will list some of the notable players I have beaten here and you can visit my Wiki page where you can view all of my results. The list I will start with is Riddles, Maister, Myran, Dark Wizzy and many others as well. https://www.ssbwiki.com/Smasher:Shoe My favorite way of coaching is to first dissect exactly what they hope to gain. Sure its good to have practice with inputs but there is so much game theory to be discussed about why you make the decisions that you do. In terms of previous coaching experience, I have been lucky to be a coach for an Esports program called RoughRiders and have coached many players within my own scene such as Acid, Chronos, Robber and many others. I have also always kept an open line to many people learning ZSS. A typical lesson will start with a discussion of what goals we want to set for the meeting as well as writing up a plan for how we want the lesson to go. I tend to prefer a bit of structure due to my experience as a teacher and I value reviewing Vods to learn where we make mistakes. There are also opportunities where we can go into game and look at various positions and set play and work on how to move forward. I will always say smash growth is rarely linear and so we will always end with a top 3 takeaways for the day and a debrief. Stealing my teaching experience I will say lessons are structured after a workshop model so that people get an opportunity to search for some of the answers in order to better internalize them.
