A NEW FUTURE FOR ESPORTS

The culture of esports and gaming continues to expand exponentially. And with it problems that have long gone ignored. The stereotypical gamer had little focus on their health. But this is changing.

I dismissed the warning signs early in life. My fingers, hands, arms, and neck would ache for days. Several heath issues began to appear after extended periods of game play. Pain seared in my eyes as my vision began to blur as migraine headaches became common. I’d rotate platforms to avoid pain but found that each one had its own unique consequences. Numbness. tingling, and daily headaches. I finally started to make care when the pain and discomfort became too much. At first, I was able to make good progress. I thought things had improved and so I no longer put effort into my health. These issues would later resurface again. And again. I soon realized it would not correct on its own over time. So I began to truly learn about and invest in maintaining my health. These key areas included nutrition, fitness, posture, and the psychological - perhaps the most challenging and important of all. While I’ve personally made many improvements to all of these areas, there is no true end - it’s a consistent pursuit of health that works. That seems exhausting. Perhaps in the beginning it was but the investment in my health paid of well in the end. I was able to share my success with family and friends. And when they asked I began to help them with their issues as well.

So at the end of 2019 I set out to begin positively impacting the health of gamers everywhere creating foundations for future generations of esports. My own personal experiences have shaped my approach to helping others find their health in gaming.

I hope that in some way that this, AlignXP, has a positive influence in your efforts to game in good health!
