The Esports Classroom Podcast

One of the biggest requests I have heard from other high school Esports coaches is to hear how they got started, how they run their programs, and the big things they do. Since I have been lucky enough to hear so many of these stories, I decided to help other coaches share theirs so they could find ways to improve and grow as coaches. I am sure that high school Esports programs can be a great thing in schools, and I will do anything I can to support the growth of scholastic Esports.

Join me on this little project I’m calling The Esports Classroom Podcast. I will be speaking with high school esports coaches, collegiate esports coaches, players, and others involved in scholastic esports.

If you are an esports coach who would like to be part of the program and share your story, please email me at donovanscience@gmail.com, and I will get your story out there. All episodes can be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
