What is an NCL Player Ambassador?

August 3, 2020September 4, 2020Leave a comment

CryptoKait
CryptoKait created a role which never existed before: Player Ambassador. It makes sense that she's been asked to explain what one is... a lot. After two months of soul searching, she endeavors to definitively explain a program that is still evolving.

Aaron James
Aaron James wasn't going to spend more than two minutes on NCL. How did he end up with 50 browser tabs open on how to use Wireshark? Find out what happened seasons later, just as he was about to make his escape!

Why I Became a Player Ambassador – Fred

Fred Stinchcombe
Fred's story is an unusual one, because he's never competed in NCL! He was first introduced to it when a student appeared to be goofing off in class. Fred has since become an invaluable resource for other coaches and anyone who needs help bringing NCL to their school.

Open-access education is something wolfshirtz is passionate about, and deep down there are three things he has always wanted to do. But are we sure that list is in order of preference? 😉

Why I Became a Player Ambassador – Hush

March 7, 2020September 8, 2020Leave a comment

Hush1e
Hush1e grew up playing with a TRS-80 in the '80s, and her idea of a Sweet 16 involved finding backdoors into BBSes. So what did she naturally go to college for? Not what you'd expect! How did she find her way back to cybersecurity and the NCL?

Why I Became an NCL Player Ambassador – John’s Story

February 22, 2020September 8, 2020Leave a comment

John "Mako" McGill
In the military, Mako couldn't get the cyber job he wanted. His first cyber competition left him feeling humiliated, too. What matters, though, isn't how many times you get knocked down—it's how many times you get back up. Read to discover how our resident shark, Mako, swam his way to the top!

Why I Became an NCL Player Ambassador – WebWitch

February 15, 2020September 8, 2020Leave a comment

WebWitch
WebWitch doesn't like being in front of an audience and doesn't know everything about cybersecurity. Those aren't the reasons they became a Player Ambassador. Luckily for us, their reasons were far more compelling than their fears!
