Long time coming on this testimonial! I have been getting coached from Derick since he opened it up. Oh my lord is this guy insane at the game. Before I got his coaching I have never topped in my vanguard career. I would always go x-3 or play terribly on the day. My prep was very rarely actually good and was very bare minimum. When I started getting coached from Derick, I have understood a lot more on what I was doing wrong in all stages of preparation and playing on tournament day. The tournament I participated in after our first session I got top 8 in! Ever since then I have felt very confident in my play and learning ability. I have at minimum got x-3 at every event I have played since then and done more sessions with him. I was on the cusp of a worlds invite during BCS season but barely couldn't clutch it out. If you have the extra money and really want to increase your chances of topping I highly recommend Derick!

He helped me understand some concepts I was having a hard time with and really helped getting ready for my regional.

He is very knowledgeable about the game. Awesome person to talk too. I would recommend again. As long as you can look past the time zone differences.

After my session I went on to place top 16 at KSC Crows Nest and earn my Invite to the Invitational. His tips came up many times throughout the event.!

Veteran player + fellow coach here. Derick does an amazing job at providing insight you might not see otherwise, so you're fully prepared for your event.

Before I took a few lessons from Derick, I was having lots of trouble facing people at my locals. I wasn't confident in my skill piloting my deck either and overall clueless on how to improve. In only a short time I feel like I developed enough skill my deck at a confident level and no longer having lots of trouble facing people at my locals. I would like to thank Derick for my growth as a player and would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their vanguard skills.

Hi Derick. Wanted to say congrats on your tops in BCS this season. Your coaching defiantly helped me a lot to become a better player. Not only has Damage Mapping helped me realize where my mistakes are in-game, but your approach to the game made me learn the winning perspective that the top pros have vs the bottom players.

Great session - really felt like I learned a lot and shortcut a huge amount of testing that just wouldn't have been possible with my schedule. Great comms!
