Rocket League is quite possibly the most mechanically difficult video game to ever exist, with the average professional player racking up more than 10,000 hours in-game and still finding ways to improve and raise the skill ceiling. Since Rocket League's release in 2015 the game has grown to become one of the most popular eSports in the world with exciting fast paced gameplay and an extremely unique concept, car soccer. So where does a player start if they intend to learning mechanics, positioning, strategy, and mindset, or they simply want to be better than their friends? That's where your personal coach Sparta comes in.
