Prodigy Agency\u2019s star players get dedicated health coaching with Gscience Liquid\/ESLPlayer management firm Prodigy Agency will provide their stars with committed health and performances coaches. [jwplayer pG2zWDZ0] The agency has partnered with esports health and performance company Gscience in a commitment to all of their players. They represent some of the biggest stars in esports, with players across Counter-Strike, Valorant, League of Legends, FIFA, and Rocket League. The likes of Team Liquid\u2019s ScreaM, Team Vitality\u2019s apEX and ZywOo, Cloud9\u2019s $1.65m signing Woxic, G2 Esports\u2019 Mixwell, and FunPlus Phoenix\u2019s Ange1 will all now look to get a boost in-game from their efforts away from the server. Gscience will provide tailored performance coaching and workshops to those on Prodigy\u2019s roster in an attempt to \u201cimprove the performance of the players whilst optimising their health and wellness.\u201d \u201cOur main mission with Prodigy Agency is to take care and support our players from all angles,\u201d said J\u00e9r\u00f4me Coupez, Prodigy Agency\u2019s CEO. \u201cHealth, wellness and performance is obviously one of the most important verticals for esports players, especially with the current global situation, and it was important for us to find the right partners.\u201d The health and performance specialists will complete performance audits with each of the agency\u2019s players, allowing them to create specific programs for the competitors to follow. The alliance will also see Prodigy and Gscience promote mental health across gaming and esports. In Counter-Strike, this has become a pertinent topic following Astralis\u2019 gla1ve and Xyp9x temporarily stepping down from the legendary roster due to ongoing stress and burnout. The CSPPA, Counter-Strike\u2019s player association, launched their own mental health program to tackle such issues. Professional CS:GO player apEX spoke on having dedicated performance specialists at hand: \u201cBeing an esports player is more and more stressful and demanding. Nowadays, we need to be real athletes, handling a high level of competition and pressure, an intense schedule and always being on top.It\u2019s crucial to be supported in terms of performance and health, in the long term. \u201cSome of us already have great support from our organisations, but a lot of players don\u2019t have that chance yet, even from the best teams. So I find it fantastic that Prodigy Agency is taking the initiative, commiting for their players.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
