Skills for the game, knowledge for life
A successful career in esports requires more than just playing talent – it also means taking responsibility, presenting yourself professionally and making sustainable decisions. With our “Life” support module, we accompany talents on their way to becoming true professionals by supporting them in important areas outside of the game.
Media training and personal development
Success in esports requires not only outstanding performance in the game, but also a strong and authentic external image. To help our talents develop this ability, we are working with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and influencers workshops on social media, interview training, media competence and value orientation through. These training sessions are designed to show talents how they can use their platforms to advance their careers, represent their values and establish themselves as role models in esports. The right media presence is thus not seen as a burden, but as a valuable opportunity to strengthen one’s own brand and promote one’s career in the long term.
Tax, finance and business coaching
The transition from a young talent to a professional esports player means not only adapting to the demands of the game, but also to the financial and legal aspects of professional life. Tax returns, contract negotiations and sponsorship deals are the first steps into a professional career for many, but can be complex and challenging.
For many talents who are winning prize money for the first time or earning income as streamers, we offer our expertise and professional help to provide them with the best possible support.
Established professionals who are internationally active and earn prize money in various countries often face additional challenges with their tax declaration and financial management confronted with. We therefore also offer professional help for these professionals to manage their finances correctly and efficiently. Legal and contract experts are on hand to ensure that all legal aspects of their esports careers are covered and that they enter into fair, transparent agreements.
Parental counseling
Parents of esports talent often face the challenge of keeping track of the world of gaming and esports. However, parents’ knowledge and understanding of these areas is crucial in order to provide the best possible support for young talents on their career path. In collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and our enabling partner Deutsche Telekom AG we offer programs specifically for parents of talented esports players. This initiative promotes an understanding of esports and responsible gaming so that parents can not only actively support their children in their careers, but also act as valuable contacts in their families and communities.
We educate the parents of our talents about the opportunities and risks of a career in esports and accompany them on their children’s journey. Together with them, we create positive environments in which the desire to pursue a career as a competitive athlete is made possible.
