enkay J on jcobbb: “He’s constantly improving, and I always take note of that.”

Of course, I have some experience in game planning, but the guys sometimes understand CS even better. That’s exactly why it’s important for me to stick to a coaching philosophy that allows them to perform at their best at all times. It’s not just about putting players in positions where they feel comfortable, but also making sure they’re doing well off the server. I point out the team’s mistakes and also put in a tremendous amount of work on pre-match preparation and individual training. On top of that, I’m expected to lead by example and foster a positive atmosphere.

First of all, the criticism directed at jcobbb is partly unfair. He’s not playing in the positions he’s been used to throughout his career. Right now, his role is to help his teammates on defense and create space for the offense. Of course, I actively help Kuba. We often conduct one-on-one reviews and analyze his actions in detail. He’s constantly improving, and I always take note of that, even when it comes to very small successes. jcobbb is having a tough time because he lacks experience playing in many positions. In this case, unfortunately, adapting takes a lot of time.

The decision regarding Ryan’s future on the team isn’t up to me, but I hope there will be news soon.
