Over the weekend, I hit 100 citations on my research. While a modest number, it is exciting to see the work gain traction. For those who might not be aware, as a researcher and applied practitioner, my work aims to answer a critical question: How can we (coaches) develop esports athletes? So far, my published work has explored this question through both theoretical and applied perspectives. • A theoretical framework introducing skill acquisition and ecological dynamics to esports • An applied case study demonstrating how practice design can shape team coordination and communication Together, these studies point to a key insight: 👉 Esports does not have a practice quantity problem; it has a practice design problem Players & teams already invest a large amount of time playing, watching and talking about the game. However, more can be done. Coaches should be more intentional in their practice design. In the applied work with a League of Legends team, we saw how small changes to practice allowed us: • improve coordination & communication between players • develop more adaptable decision-making I continue to find answers to this question through my PhD, and will hopefully be able to share some findings with you guys soon! In the meantime, if you’re working in esports, coaching, or performance science, I’d love to connect. Links to the papers below

Jeff has always been a bastion of esports done right. If you are recruiting for an operations or team leadership role, he is second to none.

After a great few years at @RSVGG, I’ve been given notice of redundancy from my role. I’m incredibly proud of what we built, particularly around team culture and creating an environment where players & staff could perform at their best. We delivered strong results across content and competitive performance, often competing against organisations with far greater resources, while giving fans a level of transparency that isn’t always common in esports. To everyone who supported us over the years, thank you. Your support meant more than you’ll know! 💙 Alongside my role leading Britain for @ENC_EN, I’m now exploring what’s next. I’m particularly interested in operations and team leadership roles, as well as advisory work where I can help build strong environments & high-performing teams. If you’re working on something interesting, feel free to reach out!

WHO WANTS TO HELP AND MAKE NLC A PROPER LEAGUE??? Serious question!
League of Legends // UK, IE & Nordics@LoLUKN

League ApS, @NLClol's tournament organizer, has informed us that they are no longer in a position to operate the league. We are actively assessing the situation and aligning on next steps to ensure continuity and stability for the competition. We know that this raises questions, and we are committed to providing clear updates as we move forward. We will share more details on what this means for the Spring Split and the path ahead before it begins at the end of March. Thank you for your patience and continued support.

I've had the pleasure of working with James in the NLC, Prime League II and beyond. He's an excellent coach across the board. One quality worth highlighting is his ability to make his coaching staff feel like key contributors. Vital at the top level.

Owners don't post LFT's so I guess this is an LFS? Please do not DM me via X, as it will likely not be seen, as my inbox is bugged. Send applications via Discord.
