Athletics For Life Podcast

Our goal is to connect Athletes, Parents, Coaches, Athletic Directors and anybody with a passion for sports. Our mission is to educate and promote the Education-Based Athletics philosophy. Sports is more than the result on the scoreboard. It is a metaphor for life and the skills learned through sports directly transfer to anything we do down the road. More important than creating better athletes is to create better people. With our podcast, we interview interesting people in the world of sports and ask them about their experiences and to get their unique perspective on the lessons they learned through sports.

    eSports with Isaac Pena- How to implement as part of an athletics deparemtn

    We are welcoming Isaac Peña to the Athletics for Life Podcast. We got in contact with Isaac via the Athletics and Activities Director of the Western Academy of Beijing Martin Halpin. Isaac is a Design teacher and Soccer coach for the Western Academy of Beijing. He introduced eSports (electronic sports) within WAB extracurricular program. The pandemic gave us the opportunity to host our first eSports Fifa Soccer tournament and eSports gives us the opportunity to learn valuable life skills through sports in an online setting. Combining video games and school used to be a recipe for trouble. But with new technologies emerge, and schools re-evaluate how to impact student learning, there is research to suggest that gaming and e-sports may have a place alongside academics. Isaac Peña has been coaching soccer at WAB for several years. He has seen the types of off-field benefits that athletic training and competition can have on students: academic improvements, increased self-confidence, team building, problem-solving, communication, and so many more. This year, as WAB planned programs to get students active while fighting the pandemic, Isaac sparked a conversation with the WABX Activities Department about how e-sports and how they can benefit students in many of the same ways as athletics. Isaac’s new e-sports club in the Middle School was created out of an effort to engage students in school and help them connect over something they love. The popularity of the club is already apparent, and Isaac has a lot to look forward to as the group develops, including the FUSE Cup. Today we are going to learn from Isaac how to start with eSports, what the benefits are and what it can add to your Athletics and Activities program. Thank you Isaac for your willingness to share your enthusiasm for eSports. 'eSports athletes are real athletes as it takes the same skills to get to a high level' - Isaac Peña 'eSports provided us with a whole new community. The community is what makes eSports so special' - Isaac Peña 'The eSports experience: it is so much more than just the eSports athletes, it is about the creators of the games, designers, casters, advertising, music. It is truly a holistic education activity - Isaac Peña 'The actual gaming is just a small part of what eSports actually are' - Isaac Peña 'Starting with eSports is like walking a dark forest. If we help each other we will be able to find a way out of it' - Isaac Peña Topics Covered Catching up with Isaac Peña How did he start with eSports Was he sceptical of eSports How did he implement it at Western Academy Beijing What is the FUSE cup and are they hosting their own eSports events eSports as a theatre production The Asian games eSports event in Jakarta The role of eSports at Western Academy Beijing How does he deal with sceptical parents and what does a practice or training look like How does he promote the eSports program How to pick the right game and consol What is the easiest way to start with eSports How to Livestream your eSports events eSports and Scholarships The transferable skills of eSports What are his goals with eSports His vision on eSports for the next 5 to 10 years Final tips to get out of the dark forest More information on the FUSE Cup Website Western Academy of Beijing - https://www.wab.edu/ FUSE Cup - https://www.thefusecup.com.au/ OUR SPONSORS: Collegepro website: http://www.collegepro.com.cn/​ Contact information: dale.dai@collegepro.com.cn SOS Medical Mongolia: http://sosmedica.mn/en/ Host(s): CD Johnson and Jeff Koops Twitter: @AthleticsforLi2 Special Guests: Isaac Pena Camera and editing: Scott Lillis Contact information: cd.athletics4life@gmail.com / craig.draper-johnson@britishschool.edu.mn jk.athletics4life@gmail.com / j.koops@isumongolia.edu.mn s.lillis@isumongolia.edu.mn

About

Our goal is to connect Athletes, Parents, Coaches, Athletic Directors and anybody with a passion for sports. Our mission is to educate and promote the Education-Based Athletics philosophy. Sports is more than the result on the scoreboard. It is a metaphor for life and the skills learned through sports directly transfer to anything we do down the road. More important than creating better athletes is to create better people. With our podcast, we interview interesting people in the world of sports and ask them about their experiences and to get their unique perspective on the lessons they learned through sports.
