I'm going to say this on behalf of all the coaches/analysts who took their time to respond to you here. When you have multiple successful coaches all echoing the same thing and you disagree with it, you should maybe ask yourself why that is and not respond with arrogance or blind self-assurance.

You're making assumptions about our perspectives and insinuating we're somehow jealous/threatened by a data dump with very little actionable synthesis of that data and zero practicality for use with players...

Saying concise, focused work product "won't get you there" doesn't work when you're saying that to someone who has "gotten there" more than anyone else in their role in the history of the game... Rings don't lie.

I'll reiterate something from my previous reply: The approach I've always taken and recommend: seek feedback, value it when it's given, don't feel entitled or wronged when it's not given, and "just do shit."

Being ghosted never feels good and I'm sorry that happened to you. That said, high effort doesn't mean high quality. I'm going to give you the advice that I've given to every aspiring analyst/strategic coach who's asked me for feedback on documentation like this.

Having this level of depth is great and some coaches will value it highly, but for 90% of use cases, this is absolutely useless.

Something that was driven home to me very quickly in my time in private equity was that if you can communicate what needs to be communicated in fewer words, do it. A firm's partner isn't going to read a 25 page report, they'll read your 1-page summary and that 1-page summary better be excellent. In top tier esports it may not be a partner who's reading, but it's a player. For how much of your report will their attention span hold? and how much of what they cover in that attention span will they actually retain in a way that it's actionable?

When I anti, could I produce this sort of document? Sure. Do I though? Absolutely not. I provide a 12 - 20 slide "elevator pitch" style deck that communicates core concepts in as easy-to-retain a format possible, and then I provide a 1-pager in addition to that that's basically 8-15 bullet points of 1-3 sentences each that give very concise actionable conclusions with linked references.

I have all my rough notes that I can use to cite/further explain if needed, but I'm not going to waste my time formatting those into a comprehensive report that no one other than me should need to read if I'm doing my job well enough.

Even then, how a HC wants their reports provided is preferential. It feels bad to have your hard work feel like it wasn't respected or given due consideration, but not you, not I, not anyone, is entitled to that at the end of the day. The approach I've always taken and recommend: seek feedback, value it when it's given, don't feel entitled or wronged when it's not given, and "just do shit." Keep working hard, and if you work hard enough long enough, you'll become undeniable.
