Alex, welcome! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm excited to be here. HOST: To start, could you share a bit about your personal experiences that led you to teach this unique course? GUEST: Absolutely! I've been a gamer and an esports coach for many years, and I've noticed that emotional intelligence is often the missing piece in a player's skill set. It can make all the difference in competitive play. HOST: That's fascinating. And how does emotional intelligence fit into the current trends in the esports industry? GUEST: Emotional intelligence is becoming increasingly important as the esports industry grows and becomes more professional. Teams are starting to realize that managing emotions and fostering teamwork are key to success. HOST: I see. What are some of the challenges you've faced while teaching this subject, or that your students have faced while learning? GUEST: One challenge is helping students understand that emotional intelligence is just as important as their gaming skills. Another is helping them apply the concepts to their own experiences and improve their communication and teamwork skills. HOST: That sounds like a rewarding, yet challenging experience. Lastly, where do you see the future of emotional intelligence in esports going? GUEST: I believe emotional intelligence will become a standard requirement for esports professionals, just like physical fitness is for traditional athletes. It's an exciting time to be involved in esports! HOST: Indeed, it is! Thank you, Alex, for sharing your insights and experiences with us today. The "Professional Certificate in Esports Emotional Intelligence" is now open for enrollment, and I encourage everyone to check it out! GUEST: Thank you for having me!
