Outside of Pokemon TCG I am a profession actor and director, as well as an audition coach and tutor!

English: I have been playing the Pokémon TCG competitively for over 14 years, and I firmly believe that I can help any player to achieve their goals by using an approach that has been successful many times in the past that focuses on individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as general practices like the fundamentals of the Pokémon TCG and in depth aspects like meta gaming. I have qualified for eight Pokémon TCG World Championships in the Masters division (2012, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022 and 2023) and I believe that, with my help, you can get there as well. Amongst various other achievements, I was able to win the 2020 Oceania International Championships in Melbourne, Australia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ German/Deutsch: Ich spiele das Pokémon Sammelkartenspiel seit mehr als 14 Jahren auf Turnieren und bin fest davon überzeugt, dass ich Spieler:Innen auf jedem Level dabei helfen kann, ihre persönlichen Ziele zu erreichen.

Hey! I'm Aneil and I've been playing the Pokemon TCG for over 15 years now. I've now had the opportunity to coach 20+ students with a very high return & satisfaction rate. I focus mainly on getting players to enjoy the game, through learning, winning & remembering why we play this game in the first place, fun. In my time playing, I've had success in both the Seniors and Masters division, having top 4 National Championship finishes as well as worlds invites in both! In the modern game, I've been able to day 2 International Championships a total of 4 times since coming back to the game in 2019. On top of that i recently managed to place in the top 16 the Latin American International Championships down in Brazil as well as top 16'ing a few regional championships over the past couple of years. Whether you've seen me on stream, on twitter, maybe you've even listened to my co-hosted podcast, you can probably get a good idea of my personality and coaching style. I'm also a coach outside of Pokemon. I'm the head coach of the mens' division 1 soccer team at the University of Toronto Scarborough, through being a player at the university and now a coach, I've learned plenty of what it means to be a good and successful coach at all levels. The beauty of coaching at a university is that you gain experience coaching all sorts of different people, doing this helped refine my approach and I'm happy to see that translate to Pokemon! My goal is always to help you achieve whatever it is you want to achieve. Maybe that's something small, something huge, or maybe you don't even know yet! That's what I'd like to help you figure out and accomplish. From gameplay, to deck choice, to preparation, to mentality in a tournament, I'm here to help you get to that next level!
