Despite having published a book called, Performance Playbook, which talks about the holistic development of its players both physiologically and psychologically, Excel Esports looks to go further than performance, hoping to become an aspiration for gamers worldwide.
To start, the organization revealed the launch of the Gaming for Better whitepaper series. Created by Fabian Broich, Head of Performance and Sports Psychology, Gaming for Better explores multiple esports industry issues. Some examples are common injuries players may encounter and how to avoid them, lifestyle balance and physical activity. The whitepaper series is accessible worldwide today.
