7 Ways To FIX Your Kickoffs… ROCKET LEAGUE

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

FULL DISCLOSURE
I make content to make money - just - on a longer time horizon than most Youtubers.

I don't want to take cheap brand partnerships or sell you a $50 course... although I'm sure I could make more money if I did either of those things (and there's nothing wrong with people who go that route).


Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.

How I got here…

🔹16 yrs old: Switched to uploading Fortnite videos on this channel. You can go to my uploads sort oldest to newest to see all of my old Fortnite videos
🔹19 yrs old: Rocket League went free to play and my channel blew up. To keep up with the demand for coaching, started the Grand Champ Roadmap --a rocket league course business
🔹20 yrs old: Developed company and continued to scale course business. Eventually, I dropped out of school to pursue Youtube and the company full-time.
🔹22 yrs old: @Virge joined as director of coaching to further improve the coaching experience and help us make more free Rocket league content that is accessible to everyone.

Today: Coaching is how we make our money - not youtube videos or courses.

To all the people trying, failing, and hustling to make their dreams come true, we’re all in the middle of writing our own stories. Don't let other people, their opinions, or their stones bring you down.

Do you,
Luke

Aside from not having speed flips down to an exact science, one of the issues I have as a D3/C1 player, is that you'll lose a lot of possessions on kick off due to your opponent not speed flipping to the kick off. They just drive or diagonal flip, causing them to get the last touch and win possession. Surely this can't be just me?

[NotBlackWolf]

I have a weird kickoff strat I back flip on diagonal kick offs, it takes some getting used to. But you can do some pretty cool stuff bouncing yourself off the ball. Like I can send the ball into my back corner for my teammate while also ricocheting my car off the ball to send my car to mid boost. Also sometimes the backflip pinches the ball against the ground and rockets it towards the net

[blendism.]

These actually help so much thank you bro🙏

[NotRhemyRL]

These videos are so helpful thanks man

[ICRTIFEDI]

Diamond (got champ once) love your videos. Would love it even more if tm8s saw the dont go for corner boost rule!!😂

[SamiraSamira-zfs]

I can't believe these tips that will help me winning... my kickoffs.

[turbonads]

I'd love to get coaching for my nephew and i, however i joined the discord and was told theres no coaches in my region but they're looking for one and they'd let me know when they find a coach. However in the last few months I've asked for an update a few times and got no response at all. Not the best customer service...

[dylangilroy]

I wanna add on to tricks u can use them also when u have a 2 goal ish lead. Because they are trying to get a goal fast(racing time on clock)

[Tempttt]

Any tips on speed flip kickoffs against people who don't speed flip, I'm in diamond and a lot of people can't speed flip their kickoffs which means that their kickoffs are always delayed so they always end up winning the kickoff, any tips?

[ilyasina]

Where is the normal discord for Just rl talk?

[mangineer_rl]

Smart play Luke, put the sponsoration mid-video so people don't skip. Smart play👍

[n_icey]

[abudehinai]

Spuke every time I play with champion I always see the first person doesn’t take the shot and tells me to take the shot to save the ball

[Chizinky]

this should help with my random bad kickoffs in 1s

[isolated]

i still see randoms do the drive boost all the time in casual since they often go above to what they don't know how to do.

[imthebetterjager]

Anyone who can wave dash kick off what are some tips I can apply to help me get it consistent ?

[JordanPoulter-ju]
