Hey, I'm Ciaran! I am based out of Toronto, Canada and have been playing the Pokémon TCG since 2011. I have experience playing in both the Seniors & Masters Divisions (2014-2015 onwards), so I am able to provide a unique perspective on the game no matter your age! I was the #1 ranked player in Canada in 2023, and finished in the top 16 masters in the US & Canada. Some of the accomplishments I am most proud of are as follows: 8 World Championships Invitations, #1 Ranking in US & Canada in 2016, winning the Canadian National Championships, Top 4 and Top 8 at LAIC, and my three Top 32s at the World Championships! 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! Outside of Pokémon I have many hobbies and interests I enjoy such as playing/watching basketball, running, sports analytics, chess, travelling, and computer programming. I also coach an Under 18 girls basketball team, and worked 4 summers as a coach at a sports camp in the past. I am confident I can apply my sports coaching experience to the world of Pokémon. Some areas that I excel at are as follows: sequencing, deck building, deck selection, meta forecasting, mental preparation, prize mapping, and general gameplay. It would be my pleasure to help you improve as a Pokémon player, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any!
I am a Pokemon TCG player from the Chicago area! I started playing the Pokemon TCG in 2009 when I was 10 years old and played for about 6 years, placing in multiple major events as a Junior and Senior. I stopped playing competitively in High School and returned to the game where I have continued to perform at the highest level of the game. Outside of Pokemon TCG I am a professional actor as well as a writer and tutor!
🌟Hey! My name is Gabe and I am currently the #2 ranked player in North America! I have worked with over 500 students in the Pokemon tcg and I am passionate about helping YOU reach your goals. My main objective is teaching you how to IMPROVE at the game, and not just how to play it. One of my most successful students is Tristian T, who I coached to a Worlds 2nd place, Worlds Top 8, Regional Win, and more! Multiple other of my clients have seen great success whether it be achieving their worlds invite, making their first day 2, top cutting and winning regionals, and much more. I have coaching experience in every division and know what it takes for you succeed. What a session looks like: 1. We will introduce each other, I always love to know which are your goals and what’s your background. This will allow us to really begin to pinpoint our goals, and what we need to work on. 2. We will go over everything you need for the session, and the different teaching routes we can take per class that suites your needs. 3. One of the biggest things when we dive into gameplay, is I want to give you the freedom to make YOUR decisions first. I want to see where your mind leads to first, before we make the corrections needed. I will begin aiding you in sequencing tips, meta gaming analysis, and much more in our sessions. I am incredibly flexible with your needs, and can pivot to whatever core skill you want to improve on.
My goal is to help you understand why you are losing games and build the necessary skills to improve quickly. Through this we will enhance your overall understanding of the game theory within the Pokemon Trading Card Game. In addition to my experience playing and coaching Pokemon TCG, I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I have extensive experience in teaching, coaching, and directing roles with children and adults of all ages.

Pokémon TCGDeck-Building Through Time Lesson 4
Dramatically improve your deck-building skills by learning from the Pokémon TCG's extensive history in my new course designed for players of all experience-levels. Whether you've never changed a card on your own and want to begin your deck-building journey, or have already designed your own tournament-ready control decks and want a new challenge to test your skills and a history lesson to go along with it, this course is for you! Evaluating new cards, building decks, and predicting new metagames is best learned through practice, but mastering these at the present-day speed of one new set every few months can take years. That's where Pokémon's decade-long history comes in. Together, we'll work through old expansions, rotations, erratas, and bans as if they were happening in the present day—by evaluating cards, building decks, and finally checking our work by looking at what really did happen years ago! This week we'll spend more time building decks, predicting metagames, and looking at results from tournaments in the Flashfire format, including the 2014 World Championships. As a live-participant (limit of 16) you will have the opportunity to share ideas and decklists you create during the session and get real-time feedback on where you went right and wrong. Once the lesson is over, a recording will be available for anyone else to follow along to and learn from for $9.99. Class will be held through Discord here: https://discord.gg/YCqw7HYwnj
