Coaching
Hey, I'm Zach! I'm a Pro Pokemon TCG player, manager of The Shuffle Squad, and a content creator. I've been a Pokemon TCG coach since 2010, have taught players how to master the mechanics of the game, and have expertly showcased deep strategies of the game. I am a Regional Champion, International Finalist, and your 2020 Players Cup II Champion! I've helped players from all across the globe achieve World Championship invites, locals Top Cuts, and have helped a handful of players achieve the title of Pokemon TCG World Champion. As I continue to play Pokemon in my adulthood, I've been able to help my wife achieve a World Championship invite in 2023, and I am officially a PokeDad as of September 2024! Message me if you have any questions!
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.
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!

Hello! My name is Jackson Ford. I'm a competitive player in the Pokemon Trading Card Game located in Toronto and have competed since 2010. My experience in all 3 age divisions has given me perspective in how to find success in all areas of the game, I thrive in teaching gameplay decisions, sequencing, as well as deck building, critical thinking and improving decision making skills. My coaching style focuses around critically thinking 'why' we make the in-game decisions we do. Developing a mindset adaptable to new situations brings a player from good to elite and I know how to teach this mindset. In my career I've been fortunate to have one of the best Canadian careers in Pokemon throughout all 3 age divisions. Most recently I Top 8'd the Latin America International Championships but I am also a North American International Champion, Canadian National Champion, 3-Time Regional Champion, Top 16 & 2 Time Top 32 Worlds Competitor with countless other achievements. Growing up as a student of the game, I've interacted with players of all ages. I cater to all age divisions and understand what it takes to perform at the top level of any age division. The name of my game is efficiency. I have one of the best tournament conversion rates and understand the reality that for many people such as myself, not everyone can attend every tournament and maximizing your chances at the ones you can attend is key. If you are a player that fits into this category, my expertise is perfectly suited for you. Personally, I'm a 4th year student studying in the Rotman Commerce business program at the University of Toronto. I enjoy staying active, lifting and running at the gym, and also play both soccer and volleyball recreationally. My dedication to my education and physical health transfer to my attitude for Pokemon and are an asset in my success at the game. Thank you for your consideration of me as your coach! If you have any questions or just want to chat please reach out to me to talk! I look forward to meeting you and building your skills in the Pokemon TCG to become the best player you can!
