So going pro is actually quite simple. All you need to do is find about 8 hours of spare time every day. This can easily be accomplished by sacrificing your sleep. If you still need more time, consider cutting out your meals, or dropping out of school. After those small edits to your schedule, you should be well on your way to going pro!

And here am I. Started at age 29, just hit gc for the first time last season at the age of 31 😂 Not that I wanna go pro, but it truly is a young man’s game. My goal would be ssl at some time, that would be nice. But balancing it between a more than fulltime job, a girlfriend, a social life. You truly need to dedicate a lot of your life toward a goal as pro. As long as I enjoy playing the game and ranking up bit by bit, I’m happy ✌🏼

This advice can translate to anything that you want to get good at. I had to go through the same stuff to invent myself as a mortgage loan officer. Not that I want to go pro or anything, very happy with my career choice, but I started playing in 2015, just hit GC my first time last season and I'm 31. Still love the game and going to keep playing and hopefully keep getting higher. Truly fantastic game.

Very inspiring video. Thanks Thanovic for highlighting it as a topic and help illuminate the way. You, Wayton, Apparently Jack are ones I follow regularly on KZread. You have been an immense help to my improvement and as of Season 7, I am close to breaking into Diamond with only about 180-200 hours of applied game time. I have a goal to reach champ by 600 hours. Oh, and btw, I am an "old" man, and agree that any age can do this. I am 37 years old, so I have about 20 years on most mean average age pros. But I believe in my heart it can be done. Thank you for your inspirations from all three of you! :)

Great Video. Awesome pros with great insight! can't wait to put in the grind

This was great to watch! Definitely thought about it. Guess it’s time

This was a fun video, great change of pace.

What a motivational video! I know Thanovic is always very uplifting but this took it to a whole other level!

As someone who's coached two bubble teams, the mental component is such an overlooked compontent. I thought coming into coaching it would be 80% skill training 20% being there for the mental side with the players, the numbers were easily swapped. Mature coaches can really help to mentor younger players, many who haven't had the same life experienes like holding a job. Loved the video Thanovic, quality is amazing as always.

I love rocket league and I love watching the pros. I feel as if I don't have much time To go pro considering I'm 15 and only diamond 2. As I rank up and learn more about the game I would love to coach for a bubble/rlcs team. How would I find an opportunity like that?

Great video with great insights. The mentality and attitude in game is the most important aspect and having a team with that same approach is a must as one egg cracking can make everybody go omelette. The standard ranked matches are very flawed in this sense. Most people, and I'm guilty as well, treat it like any other gambling game where you hope to have good tm8s, hit your shots, and win the match. Eventually you get caught in this loop where it can go bad fast. Most of the people wanna forfait after getting scored but being 1-1 with 3min left. Others would sabotage a match winning 5-2 cause you remind them that, unless stated otherwise, left goes. The majority of the mindset of players in this game(and others) has nothing to do with how sports and other disciplines have to be be approached. It's no surprise that the apex of toxicity is champ, where people start to be kinda capable but not really. I myself decided to play the game only if I can keep a serious, balanced mindset and if I lose it then go casual, go 1s, do something else. Sometimes it's about taking a break,but I still find myself playing at least 4h to 8h a day just cause I'm drawn to it. I do have 2300h on the game and just like anything I spend time on, I take it serious and aim for the best I can be. Sure I'm making good use of the advices and checking 6 mans/men.

This is a fantastic video my play time dropped severely after my daughter was born but middle of covid To now I went from gold 1 to c1 just grinding training packs and ranked. Now I kind of plateaued so I need to change around bindings and learn new mechanics while grinding training. A video like this a great motivator for someone thinking about hanging it up keep grinding y’all

I love the ending sentence, great video! :)

See the progress little by little and I’ll start to get my name out there.

Thanks so much 🙏😊 This got me thinking 🤔 ❤😊

I needed this

I've been playing games since i was 5 years old, i love it, i will never stop playing, and i've always wanted to become pro. Age 5 to 14, 90% of my gameplay was FPS, this would make up my playstyle to be fast, mechanical and heavily solo reliant; if i pick up an FPS, i quickly get a grasp of it, in the end it's all about aim and movement (don't really like the genre anymore though). Age 14 to 20, 70% (around 3'000 games played) League of Legends (Reached Master tier), 30% (1500 hours) Brawlhalla (around 2500 elo, i guess it would be around top 50 world, not sure). Dropped League recently at the age of 20 because i realized the game style would not compliment my playstyle (slow gameplay, heavily reliant on others, don't get to show off mechanics that much); dropped Brawlhalla around 18 because i just wasn't good enough at it after major changes occured, completely ruined it for me (addition of dash for those who know the game) + i didn't enjoy playing the game as much as i did initially. Now i'm 21, started playing RL last year, i have around 200 hours and i'm c2/c3, i just wish i could put all the hours i spent in other games here. This game is so good for mechanics and solo play style, it's everything i've ever wanted, honestly don't know if i will reach pro level anymore, considering i can't spend my days playing like i used to, but it sure as hell compliments my playstyle. All this to explain one thing, talent, experience and your taste for a game need to come together if you want to become PRO. Maybe you're good at COD, but you hate FPS; you love League, but you're bad at MOBAS etc... No matter how many hours you put in a game (even if you become good), you will (mostly) be better in the game you understand the fundamentals NATURALLY, because PROs become PRO when they do stuff faster and better than most people do in a precise amount of time. Example: why some need 1000 hours to get Diamond in League, and some need 2000; why most people reach SSL in 2000 hours, but some do it in half the time? This is because you need to find the right game, which you're naturally good at, want to spend a lot of time in, and enjoy playing as well. It can't be just one or two of these 3 things IMO. I'm not sure i managed to prove my point, but that's it i guess. (sorry for bad english as well)

This gave me a lot of motivation too, and you dont need to drop out of school for this, you can simply apply for online school, and as long as you get your school work done, maybe working on school for atleast 2+ hours minimum, you should be good, i currently have 400 hours on rocket league, and im already champ, you just have to stay consistent, and have a good mindset, sometimes it will get hard, but just have to keep your chin up. P.s I forgot to say im 15, i just started last year 2023 during the summer, i think it was in august, because it was when school started again, i just had turned 15 not to long ago in april, but now i turn 16 here soon, i would have been play rocket league for almost a year now, and through out my whole experience ive always been about improving, my first rank ever was gold, then it went to plat quickly, then diamond, and now im champ in 2's, im not really into 1's but i plan on getting into those quickly cause im very inconsistent, but id have to say im quite a prodigy, not to brag though, but ive never been so proud of myself for dedicating myself to something. :)

i was plat 2s ago now im gc2 i am playing 8-10 hours a day from now i wish everyone gl on their grind you got this kings

This is now my favorite video from you Thanovic. Honestly it's what I needed. I play on a Chromebook through GeForce Now, and it gets really difficult to improve due to the lack of performance and quality I get. I play more than 7 hours a day, and I play freeplay as much as I can. I just don't think I'll be able to move forward without upgrading my setup. Trust me, it's that bad. Performance/delay of the game changes in between matches and has me constantly changing my settings/sensitivity. It's really a struggle that I hope I can push past to reach my dream of becoming a pro. Thank you for this video

I'm fine whit my rank I just hate toxic/trash talkers. Gotta get outta diamond soon. Great video as always Thano

Mentality is probably one of my bigest struggles but when I fixed it MOMENTAIRLY, I went up a whole rank 💀💀its mainly just about training what you should be training. If you're only play 1 hour a day. Try making the most out of it. Spending 30 minutes in freeplay working on something specific. Then 15 minuets in game concentrating on: GOOD TOUCHES and PLAY SMART. Finally, use those last 15 minutes to reveiw your win's and losses to see what does and doesn't work. Then tslr everything Thano said and sue it to the best of your ability!

Im c1 and now im ready for rlcs

Underrated motivational video here

Man, this video makes me realise that I'm not bad at all, I mean, I have so much things to train and get better but, if I still training and trying to improve, maybe one day, I will be better than so much people, and help people that have the same problem to improve they game

Honestly, i just wanna improve by myself, like getting ssl in 1s. After i get close to that level, maybe then i could think about playing with a group.

thank you thanovic. I always wanted to go pro but now i know that i can, and i will

Banger video once again

I started when I was 7 before that I ALWAYS in 2015-16used to watch my brother play in diamond and now since I used to watch him I got to plat two from gold 2 in a month and I’m still freaking out I was focusing too much on mechanics since I was in like silver

bro just open my eye to what was in front of me this whole time to believe and train no matter what age of rank you are put in the effert and you can do it no matter what people think. I put my head down when my friend said you will never reach grand champ when i was gold 1div3 and now i am plat 3div5 almost dimond 1 i hope you all can learn and take somthing form this and i wish you all luck on your dreams

Hi, when I play doubles and solos I can’t win because in my opinion the opponents are pretty bad so I’m playing bad for some reason, maybe because I’m not playing serious or something I DONT KNOW. But like a year ago I was in plat 3 or something and one of my friends was in champ and sometimes we played ranked for some reason 😂 and the opponents were much better of course but I played much better too.? I don’t know what to do and why I’m bad against my opponents. Now I’m Diamond 3 in doubbles and diamond 1 in solos

shots fired at Flakes😬

Even better, “Practice makes better.”

I'm trying to go pro rn and have been putting in all these hours but I just feel like I'm at a stalemate with my skill level and don't know how to cross it. Feels like I've tried everything

I wanna go pro but my peak has only been plat 3 and I’ve watched all the hard stuck videos but I still can’t budge out

So im 15 right now and i only have 500hrs in the game but my peak is champ and i consider myself above the curve mechanically so is that good or should i change something to get there faster

You can do your best and still not be good enought to reach pro in 5 years from now. Gaming is not only about the game you're playing. Everything matters. How you wake up in the day, what people said to you earlier, how good/bad you're feeling, what kind of problems you're going through and the list goes on.
