What the hell is esports coaching anyway‪?‬ Ben Kyle

The inaugural episode of the podcast! In this podcast I'll be talking to influential people within the esports coaching space.



What the hell is esports coaching anyway? is a podcast about competitive gaming and esport coaching, in every form it takes. The goal is to create more exposure for coaching and for it to become the norm. We want to discuss your experiences with coaching, how it affects and helps, and what we can do to get it taken more seriously. Anything coaching is up for discussion.



In this episode I sit down with FaZe Didz to discuss the FaZe PUBG team and everything coaching! We talk about his views on where coaching is going within the next few years, and what gave him inspiration to start coaching in the first place.



Make sure to follow if this is the kind of content you want to see! Will be bringing episodes out every 2-4 weeks!
