The fastest growing cultural sector at the moment is gaming, and the world of esports is showing the world a pathway to positive gaming communities. Elite gamers are role models who train hard, take care of themselves, engage with social concerns, and develop a whole range of skills through their gaming which are setting them up to be future leaders. In this talk, Prof Andy Miah outlines how you can take your gaming to the next level with esports and find your future.
