Course syllabus
01
Esports Basics
We start with some background on the esports industry, the key stakeholders, and how it functions at the pro level and semi-pro level. Then we consider how teams are structured, flaws in the current system, and what's on the horizon.
02
Scouting
We will build a model of player performance and distinguish between in-game metrics and other relevant player traits. Then, we'll go over strategies to test against them in tryouts and interviews.
03
Integration
We'll explore the Tuckman Model of Team Development and how to apply the concepts to a newly formed team. Building on this, we'll discuss how to most efficiently align roster and staff on strategic and operational roles and responbilities.
04
Development
Development requires an understanding of a person's current status, their desired level, and ways to help them bridge the gap. We're going to do this by sketching a sample curriculum, creating formative assessments, and strategies for how to swap between developmental mindset to a performance mindset.
05
Optimization
We'll introduce Cognitive Load Theory and discuss it's impact in esports and use it to create a periodization schedule. Next, we'll consider ways to maximize in-game performance by looking at team style and the power of constraints as well as health, psychology, and other intangibles.
06
Connecting the Modules
Every aspect of the performance framework is interconnected. We're going to take a step back and consider how an entire program can be tailored to your ideas, budgets, and other constraints.
