Qualifications of a Gaming Coach

• Have qualification or experience in teaching, analysis, or tutoring.

• Have significant experience, understanding and active involvement in the specified activity.

Evaluation of a Coach

To arbitrarily evaluate someone’s strategy or theory analysis ability on statistics like accuracy, KDR, and win/loss in a ranked situation is not the most effective way to show competency in coaching and analysis.

It can be an indicator of pure mechanical expertise which is an important factor in overall skill, but there are more important skills to expound upon, such as communication, goal-oriented achievements, adapting to new situations and styles of encounter. These are things not every top performer can do.

For many players, their performance doesn’t always come from an explicit understanding of the tasks at hand. So they may not always fit the qualification of understanding the activity enough to analyse other players’ performance.

Different Levels of Coaching

When thinking about this you have to split the different levels of coaching and people’s proficiency with coaching qualifications or experience coaching like a coach focusing on new players requires knowledge of many different methods of teaching and to be highly adaptable. This is the case because of the greater number of beginners and the often lack of exposure to the correct techniques and methods of the players above their skill.

While then a coach who focuses on the best of the best is the proficiency of the analysis and development of techniques and less on adapting to the player cause most likely the player has and can learn to the strategies with analysis and their own experience to have the range of developed skills

But things like a beginner coach can be trained outside of the field or game as more people have gone through to the level that they are training too and it’s about refining the fundamental skills and giving that range to help more people.
