Coaching - Valentin Hoffmann

Are your solving times no longer improving?

Do your transitions lack fluidity?

Or do you simply want to learn the best methods with the right habits from the very beginning?

I offer personalized coaching designed to structure your practice and unlock your full speed potential. In my everyday life, I work as a physiotherapist. This profession has given me essential human and technical skills that I directly apply to my Speedcubing coaching;

Attentive listening:

Every speedcuber has different obstacles. I take the time to carefully analyze the way you solve in order to identify your strengths and weaknesses. My profession involves teaching people how to move and develop new motor skills. I know how to break down a complex movement (such as an algorithm or a fingertrick) so I can teach it to you in the simplest and most natural way possible. Progress in cubing requires consistency. I carefully adapt to your pace, without judgment, so that every session remains enjoyable.

My technical specialties:

Together, we will work on the most efficient and widely used speedcubing methods in the world;

• 3x3x3: Complete mastery and optimization of the CFOP method (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL), from Cross planning to look-ahead.

• Big Cubes (4x4, 5x5 and above): Learning and improving the Yau method to optimize your transitions and increase your speed on larger cubes.

Solving efficiency:

Reducing the number of moves (Move Count) and improving anticipation to eliminate pauses.

Mental management:

Advice on how to approach your timed practice sessions at home or official competitions with a calm and focused mindset.
