The players and coaches who build real careers do the work the other ninety-nine percent avoid. Dedication, mental training, reflection, sacrifice. Coach that work ethic openly and you attract the players who want it.

Já passaram alguns dias e ainda não parece real. Quem diria que, no início deste ano, estaria a pensar que me ia tornar campeão do mundo? Uma pequena reflexão. Muitos não sabem, mas eu competi a minha vida toda. Pratiquei múltiplos desportos tradicionais e, desde pequeno, fui sempre dos melhores em tudo o que fazia, competindo a um nível alto. Cheguei até a representar a Seleção Nacional do meu país. Entre lesões e mais lesões, tive de deixar essa carreira de parte. Felizmente, os esports apareceram. Sempre joguei videojogos e lembro-me de comentar, quando tinha uns 17 anos, que adorava fazer disto vida, fosse a jogar, a criar jogos ou até a testá-los. Só durante o COVID, quando não tínhamos nada para fazer em casa, é que tive realmente a oportunidade de o fazer. O VALORANT saiu e eu apaixonei-me pelo jogo. Pensei: "Será esta a oportunidade que estive à espera este tempo todo?" Decidi dar tudo. Durante os primeiros dois anos, conciliei o jogo com a universidade. Conquistei bastante na liga regional em Portugal, mas ainda não era nada de extraordinário. Até que, finalmente, consegui tornar-me profissional. No meu primeiro ano como profissional, conseguimos um top 4 na Europa, o que foi bastante positivo. Os dois anos seguintes, porém, já não correram tão bem e os resultados ficaram aquém das expectativas. Depois desses dois anos, senti-me perdido. Não sabia o que fazer: se desistia e ia trabalhar para um emprego tradicional, se continuava a minha carreira como jogador e rezava para que o próximo projeto fosse o certo, ou se tentava algo diferente. E foi aí que tomei uma das decisões mais difíceis da minha carreira. Estive muito perto de dar retire completamente dos esports, mas decidi perguntar a mim próprio: porque não tentar ser treinador? O trabalho que faço como IGL é, em muitos aspetos, bastante semelhante ao de um treinador. Então, porque não tentar? Enviei muitas mensagens, muitas ficaram sem resposta e ouvi muitos "nãos", até que surgiu uma oportunidade para provar o meu valor. Por isso, tenho de agradecer ao @romanilly1 e à @LOUDgg , que foram dos únicos que me deram uma oportunidade. Nunca pensei que fosse gostar tanto de ser treinador como gostava de ser jogador, mas a realidade é que gosto ainda mais. O resto da história vocês já sabem como acaba. 💚 Só tenho uma coisa a dizer: não desistam dos vossos sonhos. Vai sempre haver pedras no caminho. Por vezes, temos de mudar de direção ou até de percurso, mas, se realmente quiserem chegar lá, vão encontrar uma maneira. Por fim, obrigado pelo apoio incrível que todos vocês nos têm dado até hoje. Fazem-nos sentir que tudo vale a pena. 💚

So clever.

Off season/trialing cheat sheet I don’t have opportunities for trials ❌ - What were your expectations before this year? Did you have actionable goals and an improvement plan? Were you able to stick to the aforementioned plan and did you have a support system integrated into this? - What is your reputation amongst your peers and other coaches? If you are genuinely unsure then you should reach out and ask people how you are viewed. This may or may not provide information as to why you are not receiving the opportunities you expected. Ask players, coaches, casters and/or managers. - Can you point towards deliberate attempts at improving areas that are known weaknesses (agent pool, style of play, comms, professionalism, public image) - Are you prepared for the off season? If it’s easy to contact you? Do you have representation? Do you have all your vods ready to be shared that highlight your skill, comms, flexibility etc? - Do you have reputable referrals from teammates and coaches etc? I have opportunities for trials ✅🎟️ - How do you feel about trialing? Do you feel like you shouldn’t have to? Do you feel like you deserve to be trialing for better team? This is one of the biggest performance nerfs that I’ve seen (entitlement). - What are your expectations going into the trial? How are you going to approach it? Is there an element you are specifically looking to showcase? (Mechanics, comms, teamwork, flexibility). Does this match what the team is looking for? - How good is your current routine with respect to setting yourself up for success? Are you able to create an environment that brings out your best self? (Energy management, scheduling, arousal (inverted U theory) - How good are your interviewing skills? Is this something you practice and do you consider what coaches and general managers are looking for? Are you confident in being able to provide attributions for successes and failures from your previous projects? - Do you have questions prepared to ask prior to your trial to better understand; 1. what they will assess your performance on 2. What they are looking to see in you specifically (their reason for bringing you in) 3. Post trials: any feedback from coaches or GMs that they can give you that provides extra insights for their decision.
