Our Coaches - Training Grounds

OUR COACHES

At Training Grounds, we believe positive coaching has the greatest impact on a gamer’s performance on and off the field.

TRAINING
APPROACH

Skills-Based

Every coaching session targets a specific skill through curriculum, then breaks out into drills, mini-games, or VOD reviews to put the skill into motion.

Growth-
Oriented

Coaches model TG values by creating a positive community focused on growth and learning.

Personalized

Coaches provide small group and 1:1 coaching support to provide personal coaching to fill the needs of every player and team.

C9 Training Grounds!

"Coach Orbitz did an amazing job at getting everybody to practice the fundamentals he taught. I think he also did an amazing job at trying to get us to mesh as a team. "

"Orbitz is a great coach overall. He has a great sense of the game but most of all he is a GREAT teacher. He doesn’t sugar coat what needs to be done and is great at addressing the roots of problems. 10/10 coach and hope to be working more with him in the future "

"Coach was great. When we were overcomplicating our decision-making he gave us caveman style game suggestions which were both hilarious and helpful."

"McLi is definitely putting in the effort and making himself available to the team for questions/goal setting/and individual game discussions."

"As per usual Monchi has delivered amazing help to the team. Even running drills with everyone involved for warm ups or cool downs. Ensuring we learn more game fundamentals and have stuff competition to push through while we learn"
