About This Topic

How do you get better at video games, and how do people become professional esports players? The answer lies in dedicated, deliberate practice—just like it takes for someone to become a professional violinist or football player. The difference between playing a game for fun and developing your skills is night and day. To achieve the latter, you'll work closely with your "coach" to learn how to record gameplay footage, review your plays, and talk through decisions you made in the moment. Then, you'll come up with a plan of attack, and keep moving your skills forward with practice sessions and development.

NOTE: This software will not run on Mac OS (Minimum Requirements: Windows 7 (64 bit) or Newer Windows OS (64 bit)

You'll learn to:

Explore capturing gameplay footage
Get feedback and review moments from professional and amateur games
Engage in deliberate practice to improve key skills
Get coaching on your Rocket League play

Frequently Asked Questions

What are esports?

Esports, electronic sports, is a field in which individuals and teams compete for top scores in a range of video games. Today’s most popular esports games include FIFA, League of Legends, Fortnite, Counter-Strike, and StarCraft. Games like Overwatch coordinate international teams and leagues that compete in nail-biting tournaments for awesome prizes.

Why should my child learn about esports?

It’s no secret that video games are beneficial in all kinds of ways, and even young players can enjoy the educational benefits. In addition to winning some serious cash prizes, studies show that playing in esports leagues can increase manual dexterity and improve kids’ hand-eye coordination skills.

What college and career opportunities are open to students who study esports?

Ten colleges and universities offer degree programs in the esports field, including big name campuses like UC Irvine, the University of Texas, and The Ohio State University. Still more universities offer esports extracurricular opportunities and competitive teams. Many gamers may be surprised to learn that the record for the highest single-player tournament payout is held by a teenager! So whether your child hopes to design video games, code, or compete, esports can help them on their journey.

Is this lesson suitable for all skill levels?

Absolutely! Because our Online Private Lessons are 1-on-1 with an instructor, the curriculum is customized to meet your child's skill level, unique interests, and long-term goals. Whether they are just starting out or super advanced, our experienced instructors will engage them to bring out their best!

What is the Online Private Lesson experience like?

Our Online Private Lessons offer live, 1-on-1 learning with an experienced, USA-based instructor and curriculum tailored to your child's interests and skill level! Once you select a topic and purchase a lesson package, you can easily choose your instructor and schedule a 60-minute lesson for the date and time that works best for you.

Once scheduled, you can share notes about your child and any specific goals they might have. When it's time for their lesson, your child will connect with their instructor via Zoom. You will receive a post-session progress report via email so you can track your child's success!

What are the technical requirements for this lesson?

Each child will need a Windows or Mac computer with audio and video capabilities. We do not recommend tablets or Chromebooks, as the multi-tasking ability between Zoom and other required software is often unreliable or nonexistent.
