Or as we look at it, it started to be an intriguing topic when the Esports industry started its growth in popularity. Every growth in popularity (and income) comes with some consequences, and for Esports it was the wake-up of \u201ctraditional sports\u201d advocates.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mentalni-trening-burnout-u-esportu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What is Esports?<\/h2>\n<p>A lot of people that aren\u2019t a part of the gaming community still aren\u2019t that sure what is esports\/electronic sports. Maybe the best description is that it is a form of competition using video games that uses multiplayer games and professional players to compete with each other. Competitive video gaming would not be known so much without its spectatorship. Thousands of fans gather themselves in arenas, while literally, millions watch it online. Not to forget that Esports is a billion $ industry, and the gaming industry gains more profit from the music &amp; film industries together.<\/p>\n<h2>Conflicting sides; PRO &amp; CON Esports<\/h2>\n<p>So we have two sides, the one that is supporting the idea of Esport being a sport, and the other, more \u201ctraditional\u201d side that feels just putting video games &amp; sport in the same sentence is thought-provoking enough.<\/p>\n<p>Who is right? Are there any right\/wrong sides to this debate? What is gonna be the final verdict? And finally, who will be the judge of that? Not us, for sure \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mentalni-trening-burnout-u-esportu2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"455\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What makes sport a sport? \ud83d\ude42<\/h2>\n<p>This question for sure is very delicate. Maybe the most used complaint of \u201ctraditional sports\u201d advocates is that there is nothing physical about playing video games. This argument sticks up to a certain point cause some sports require other types of \u201cphysical\u201d; like physical dexterity and skill, quick reflexes, and physical stamina. Similar to some other sports, snooker or billiard for instance (more recognized as sports). On the other side, chess is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (one of the highest governing bodies in sport) as a sport. Chess was introduced in Sydney in 2000. as an exhibition sport, but never entered an official program.<\/p>\n<p>So, the lines are really thin sometimes, and different governing bodies have their own interpretation of what is needed to call a sport.<\/p>\n<p>The other big argument is that Esport is a game and not a sport. A debate is even more philosophical than the first one \ud83d\ude42 We won\u2019t even go into that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mentalni-trening-burnout-u-esportu3.jpg\" alt=\"Esport Mental Training\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>What criteria does Esports have to be called a sport?<\/h3>\n<p>Esport industry is putting upfront:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Physical athleticism and\/or physical dexterity and skill\n<ul>\n<li>Esports require dexterity, quick reflexes, and physical stamina.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Structure\n<ul>\n<li>There are numerous leagues and tournaments.

Massive media networks like ESPN, along with online media like Twitch provide broadcast, streamed, and live-viewing of esports for spectators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Sport psychology in Esports<\/h2>\n<p>From the point of view of a Sports Psychologist, looking at these players (or athletes, whatever you wanna call them), practice or play (again, whatever you wanna call that what they do \ud83d\ude42 We can go on &amp; on like this&#8230;trying to be politically correct, not to offend anybody\u2019s opinion but it starts to be silly real fast.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Mentalni-trening-burnout-u-esportu4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"454\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The question that interests me most is:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Can these athletes benefit from working on their mental preparation? YES!<\/li>\n<li>Can a Sports &amp; Performance Psychologist be someone who is helping them achieve these goals? YES!<\/li>\n<li>Is it becoming a common thing in the world of Esports to hire a sports psychologist? YES!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>More and more teams understand how the mental side is important for their performance. Similar to traditional sports, some recognize their importance and have assets to invest in, and some don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, again we are not picking sides, PRO esports or PRO traditional sports.<\/strong> We only see human beings wanting to be better at things they do, love and live for.
