And thank you for fixing! Signing up now. =)

Edit: Follow up, it's going to the main settings page. Where would I go to add a game or available times? The OP said "My Games" section. But I don't see one. xD

Our host actually just had a server hiccup (due to high traffic they believe). It should be resolved now according to them.

Nice site. I registered as a coach and look forward to seeing the site grow (although I don't think I'll be coaching until summer).

I can imagine a lot of games that it would be really cool to find coaches in. Mainly iracing, so hard to get help from good drivers on there lol.


iRacing is now added

If you're looking at expanding your game selection, you might want to ask around in the FGC. I've seen a couple posts in Street Fighter forums about people offering to coach, although I doubt they would charge as much as PC gamers.


Thanks! I will look into adding some fighting games this evening. Any suggestions?

We will continue to advertise on many sites, in many different ways within our budget. We will also be doing many other things to promote the site in ways that does not cost a lot.

However, coaches should promote their profile page just as they promote their twitter or facebook pages for more direct and consistent business. This is why you won't find any promotion of other coaches on a profile page. We want coaches to direct players to their profile pages for coaching and feel confident in doing so.

How do you know the coaches that apply have the quality needed to actually give someone lessons? Do you test them in anyway?


Coaches are reviewed by players who have purchased lessons. Coaching, as in life should be open to anyone with a knack for helping others.


So basically the first student a coach gets is a guinea pig to see if it's a decent coach or not. So if it is you and you get a bad coach, you kind of just wasted some money. Sure people can be good at a game but that doesn't mean they would be a good coach either. That's why you see some professional athletes fail as coaches. Good luck to the first set of students. I hope it goes well.

just saying but this system sucks hardcore, this is more like a ******* joke come on ... why do you do this kind of ********.
Letting anyone coach is just nonsense and dishonest for your customers, nothing more to add.

edit : yeah ok.. maybe shitty comment

You should probably hide these errors from the public...

Logging (obviously it's bad to suppress errors without logging) plus global exception handling is like 5-10 minutes work to implement (I am a professional web dev and it wounds me when people don't do this). As an added bonus if you set it up to email support the error, whenever a user gets the error, your support team gets notified .

Saw a Gold and Diamond ranked coach. No one should pay for coaching from someone of that level, they are doing something wrong which in turn would be taught to others, heck I wouldn't take any coaching advice from the majority of Masters players. Seems like its on the student to find a good coach rather than a service offering a selection of good coaches.

Besides that thou it is a nice set of features you offer to people that want to coach. It looks great for a trusted and well known coach that can link you to his profile to help organize his/her coaching sessions but I'm just not sure it will be so good for the students that are browsing your page looking for a coach.
Jaedong gives me a deep resonance.

I am gold and I guarantee that I could coach and help someone new to the game or even someone that has been playing for awhile and is stuck in bronze/silver/gold/plat, basically anyone in the stuff league. I am gold because I don't focus on winning, I am currently focusing on my mechanics and shooting for a spending level that's in line with the league I want to end up in.

There are professional sc2 coaches that don't even play the game.

I am pretty sure coaches can offer free games. If they aren't getting anyone that wants to jump into the deep end and get a blind lesson, the coach can offer a couple free lessons to build up his reviews? I don't know maybe I am missing something but it seems like there are a lot of people here hating just for the sake of hating.

In general I don't understand why these types of things exist. You should just get better from readying TL.net and other sites (THERE ARE NO OTHERS <3) and from the struggle. If you are in the struggle and don't understand how to get better, there are even parts of TL.net that explain how to get better. This actually has inspired me to do my part and write up something about how I got into Masters League from a crawl out of bronze. From learning and practice. You don't need coaches. Unless you are so lazy that you need a life coach to inspire you to get on TL.net and read about how to get better............
