@psych_chek
as our new performance coach for VALORANT, who has been supporting the team since the beginning of VCT EMEA Stage 2!
Alongside Elmapuddy and Mini, Edgar will be working closely with the team in Berlin as we focus on Champions qualification.
Part of the fun of international events is trying to think of different daily activation games for the boys to play with limited space and time. Doing it at the hotel with limited space has made things more challenging

We take the win!

1. Leaving GUILD
Today was my last working day and after 2 years I've decided to leave GUILD. I have learned so much, made memories and grown so much during my time there.
I plan to continue helping people become the best versions of themselves

@itskaplan
It’s been great to have seen you coach and support during this half of the season! My highlight has been the coach’s booth series in split 2 🙌🏾
Big shout out to coaches. I feel a lot of players or athletes don't appreciate what it takes to be a coach. Consider that not only are they dealing with their athletes' emotions and behaviours, but those of their own. On top of that, dealing with organisational pressures
Becks and Cheks at the wheel!

Back from Thailand and had some time to reflect
Key thing for me was realising I had lost a huge sense of control. I took the time to understand why and then what small steps I can do to regain that sense of control.
Step 1: Get a trim
