Training Muay Thai in Bangkok now, realized deeper how unbelievably important good coaches / mentors are

2 sessions and already feel like I’ve progressed more than I did in all of last month

1on1 work with someone who knows what he’s doing >> genuinely skyrockets in all fields

First you must define what is a good IGL to know who is and who isn’t one

In my eyes a good IGL is first of all a good leader - a charismatic trustworthy rolemodel who thinks and does “bigger”, creates and maintains good relationships with his teammates, keeps his cool and communicates effectively etc

Then specific ingame skills - adaptability is the most important one which essentially is just intelligence to identify the situation correctly followed up with creativity to come up with a good solution. Awareness, initiative and having a calling system is in there too obv.

Now, from the outside - it is impossible to know who is a good IGL and who isn’t, by outside I mean spectating a game without comms. I do believe you can watch 1 VOD from player/coach perspective with comms vs a T1 team and have a good idea of the IGL’s skill as you’ll be able to see a lot of what i’ve listed up there if you’re genuinely paying attention to everything that comes out of his mouth and the way it comes out. Bonus points if you are losing in that VOD

It’s true tho, for the outside person the only measureable metric is indeed winning which is extremely unfortunate as like he said - you won’t know who gave the call / comm / info and the pre-game preparation that went into it that was perhaps done by the duelist or coach etc…

I believe that from watching voice comms you can’t really tell much, tho from an interview I think you can tell a lot more, even just his behavior in the interview and the way he talks tells a lot about his personality if you’re observant. You can always just talk to him (if you have access) and ask him about how a map should be approached or how a team should be built and see the answer there…

Also of course you can always ask players who played with him, coaches who worked with him and perhaps outsiders like managers, performance coaches etc but they themselves also need to know who is a good IGL and have experience working with other people to be able to compare to and also be unbiased…

Thats mainly it, I’m the best IGL, bye

I truly believe that it is impossible to tell who is & isn’t a good IGL. First off what makes you good is debatable and the only measurable metric is winning & you’ll never know from the outside what contributes to winning or lose in a teams system. I feel like people who talk about igls being good or bad are just waffling.

Think about this

Your objective is to become a T1 player, a pro player?

How many are there in the world? How many of the gamers are T1/pro players? 0.1%? Probably less?

Meaning that by definition you are trying to become a 0.1% player / person - meaning you have to do more, have to do better and have to do different than the other 99.9%

If everyone is trash comming - don’t
If no one is doing extra work - do it
If no one lives the athlete lifestyle - do it

Simple

[Reason @reasonlyy]

Reminder - your value as a player isn’t determined just by the amount of numbers you have on the board, if you are having a bad game mechanically - use your voice to win by giving perfect comms, good suggestions/info to the IGL, good energy/hypeman “role” for the match.

[Reason @reasonlyy]

Fear is often just a misuse of the imagination

We fear, worry and stress about what is yet to come and by default anticipate the worst possible outcome

Perhaps it’s an evolutionary defense mechanism, but imagine rather than anticipating worst possible outcome you switch to best
