The Importance of Soft Skills.

According to a recent piece in the Harvard Business Review, one of the most critical areas for skills development is soft skills. Today’s students can help prepare for the future of work by not only focusing on their technical and hard skills, but also on developing their soft skills.

At Esports Tower we focus on both IQ and EQ - in game intellegence and emotional intellegence.

“In one survey, 93% of employers reported that ‘a candidate’s demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than his or her undergraduate major.’ In addition, employers seek candidates who have other sorts of ‘soft skills,’ such as being able to learn adaptively, to make good decisions and to work well with others. These sought-after abilities, of course, fit perfectly with the sorts of things that people can do well, but are and will continue to be difficult to automate.”

Working with our academic partners and sponsors, we’ve created a curriculum designed to develop Esports Tower athletes' people skills and professionalism that college and pro recruiters are looking for in players. Our Combines allow college recruiters to assess player progress as they advance through our 12-levels of soft-skill training.

Esports Tower Clubs' quarterly game specific training schedules culminate with a final scholarship tournament. Over this 12-week schedule, coaches train our esports athletes through each level of our Esports Tower Approach™.

Professionalism & Sportsmanship

By being a good sport, you learn respect for others and self-control. These skills can help you manage many other parts of your life. They're also key to becoming a mature, respectful, and successful adult.

Physical Health

If you're fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do. In short, you perform better. Some parts of this are up to parents — such as serving healthy meals or encouraging family activities. But students can take charge too when it comes to their health.

Mana

In esports, characters have supernatural or magical powers, but as humans, we think of this as our internal energy. How we care for our state of mind or mental health matters. We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we react to it and how much we allow situations or others to bother us.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

Teamwork

Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Team activities are great practice for when you have a job that requires working with others. Right now, being on a team can be fun because you’re likely all friends. Being put in teams with strangers with similar skill levels will help you learn how to communicate and work better together, just like when you are in the work-world.

Confidence

Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn't about feeling superior to others. It's a quiet inner knowledge that you're capable of. Confidence helps us feel ready for life's experiences. When we're confident, we're more likely to move forward with people and opportunities — not back away from them. And if things don't work out at first, confidence helps us try again.

Competition, Competitiveness, and More.

It’s estimated that there are +400 varsity college teams participating in competitive esports leagues today, and the number is increasing annually. By taking part in competitive activities, students are building a number of soft skills. Often, the popular eSports games rely on teams of players working together to win, rather than the prowess of individual players.

College Esports Directors Bridge The Gap With Us

BENNETT NEWSOME,

ESPORTS STRATEGIST AT FULL SAIL UNIVERSITY

“I’m excited to have the partnership with Esports Tower. I think the model bridges those gaps where it’s not just about individual play, but it’s about understanding it, breaking things down, communicating effectively, and bringing everything together in a well rounded player.”

ALBERT YEH,

GENERAL MANAGER AT FLORIDA MAYHEM

“Esports are more important than ever. Esports in general provide a lot of opportunities to players. Working in a team environment, get coaching, interact socially with people of the same age and older than you. I think the younger you are, the more time you have to take advantage of these new emerging opportunities that i did not have as a player.”
