How do you become a good coach in esports? 📈. We explored the views of players, coaches, and team staff on exactly this. What counts and who gets taken seriously provoked strong (and some conflicting) views!. @DrMikeTrotter @SylvainLaborde_ @TomLeeder.🔗

Short summary of findings from our new paper in @EducSci_MDPI . We asked 98 players, coaches and staff what's needed to become a 'good' esports coach. One takeaway: formal coach education seems to hold little value! But maybe the issue isn’t if it matters, rather how it’s done?

Really appreciate the honesty from @justjon_lol in our Coach Support Show. As a coach developer, researcher, and just a fan it’s fascinating to hear about the realities of competition. Pressure, people, performance… not all smooth sailing. 🎧 Worth a listen 👇. #EsportsCoaching.
On the latest edition of @CoachSupShow I reflected on @NLClol Finals with @NORDEsports against Los Ratones. This is just the finals recap segment. You can find the whole episode on YouTube or linked below 👇 (with timestamps)

Tasks like "no comms" hold a lot of promise in esports and LoL scrims in particular. No comms especially sounds so simple, but requires a clear idea about when, why and how to apply it. @KabirBubna is a brilliant help on this.
During my holiday exploring the mountains of India, the annual debate over the Scrim methodology revives. This time "no comms"! . I've created a quick cheat sheet for you coaches looking to implement it in your practice: use this, evolve it, and make it your own!

On today's episode of The Coach Support Show with @justjon_lol we'll be chatting about PRESSURE TRAINING (PT). Question for any coaches out there:.- If you've used PT, what tasks/demands/consequences did you use?.- How did you assess it/review it/check it was useful?

Any teams, TOs, federations or discord admins out there willing to share an esports health survey with their players/members?. I'm sure the @esportshealth staff would be open to giving a talk in return once the results are in 🤝.
Thanks everyone for the response to this!! We've already had a few more completions and hugely appreciate every answer and interaction 🫶. If you know of an event or community that might be interested in our survey or related work feel free to share it with us 😊.

If anyone in my network would be able to share the survey below I'd be very grateful. The @esportshealth team is looking for players of all levels and all games to take part. More responses = better understanding = better resources 📊.
Hello gamers! Can you help?. We could use a few more responses to our survey on health and physical activity 💙. All the info we collect will support the creation of free health promotion resources for the esports community. 🔗 #EHealthPlus
