It got to the point where I was doing like back-to-back all-nighters just to get one video out.

"At first, when I was learning how to edit, I didn't have time for anything else. amustycow considers himself a perfectionist, but that meant spending dozens of hours on a single video, and that's not even including time spent practicing. When he was just starting to get the channel off the ground, he had to learn how to properly capture high-quality clips and how to edit the clips into an entertaining video for YouTube. That's just one of the things he had to teach himself. It's all stuff I had to learn along the way." I had to learn to get confident in my voice. Getting better on mic, and adding my face camera to the mix was a process. I leave it up there so people can see how the channel started, but it's just so bad. I can't even watch the Musty Flick Tutorial anymore. It started it all, but it's one video that he hates to revisit. It was the very first video on his YouTube channel, and the beginning of his channel that recently passed the 500,000 subscriber mark. The community wanted to know how to pull off this new move, so the next step was to upload a tutorial video. That move helped pave his way for a career in content creation.
When someone asked what it should be called, Musty jokingly replied with his own name. Nobody had seen a maneuver like that before, and it was getting the attention of high level players on Reddit. He posted a flick he was working on that took the community by storm.

Then, in 2016, all that time in Free Play paid off. I didn't know there was any money in YouTube content creation." I thought that was the only way to achieve success in Rocket League. "I was really trying to become a pro, because that's all I knew. At the time, I was just trying to get as good as that Squishy Muffinz guy," he laughs. "I would play free-play for like six hours a day, trying out different flicks and mechanics, and watching tutorials on YouTube. That meant striving to get better – six-hour sessions in Free Play, grinding Ranked Matches, and sharing clips on Reddit.

I think about that a lot."Īfter a full recovery from his concussion, he didn’t want to risk further injury with soccer, and Rocket League became the competitive replacement. Maybe if I didn't have the traumatic experience, I wouldn't be where I am today. "It was near when Rocket League came out on Xbox. "Dealing with post-concussion syndrome was one of the worst things to happen in my life. Screen time isn’t recommended for someone recovering from a concussion, and Musty's mom didn’t like the thought of him playing Call of Duty: Black Ops for long periods of time due its violence, so they compromised on Rocket League for short play sessions. He played the FIFA and Call Of Duty Series, and just dabbled in Rocket League at that time. He and his two brothers enjoyed gaming together, but it wasn’t one of his huge passions.
While he was stuck at home trying to get back on his feet, he turned to video games. He missed two months of school because of it, and that was only part of his struggle to rehabilitate. This was his second concussion, which amplified its severity. Then, in 2016, he suffered a serious concussion playing soccer. Musty continued to do well in school, and went through the motions of traditional education. I was like, 'wait, I literally have no idea what I want to do with my life.'" "My parents told me that it was normal to not know what to do, but all my friends were planning and filling out college applications. "I never knew what I wanted to do, or what college I wanted to go to," Musty recalled. Even though he excelled in school, there wasn’t a subject that he loved, which made for an unsure career path. He carried a 4.0 GPA, and made the varsity soccer team as a freshman. But, it was a serious injury during high school that paved his road to Rocket League.Īmustycow (Musty for short, or Wyatt as those close to him call him) was a model high school student. The 19 year old from Atlanta is in the upper echelon of Rocket League YouTube creators, and it happened in part by a top notch work ethic. Every time someone shares a sick clip of a Musty Flick they pulled off in a ranked match, they have amustycow to thank. There aren’t many content creators who share a name with a Rocket League trick reserved for elite players.
