The Importance of Soft Skills

At Esports Tower we focus on both IQ and EQ — in game intelligence and emotional intelligence.

According to a recent piece in the Harvard Business Review, one of the most critical areas for skills development is soft skills. Today’s students can help prepare for the future of work by not only focusing on their technical and hard skills, but also on developing the soft skills they’ll need for long-term success, no matter where their career takes them.

Association of American Colleges and Universities

“In one survey, 93% of employers said ‘a candidate’s demonstrated skill to think critically, speak clearly, and solve complicated problems is more significant than his or her college major.’ Employers also look for “soft skills” like adaptability, decision-making, and teamwork. Of course, these sought-after qualities align nicely with the kinds of tasks individuals can do effectively but are and will remain difficult to automate.” Read the newest report

Working with our academic partners and sponsors, we’ve created a curriculum designed to develop Esports Tower athletes’ people skills and professionalism that colleges and pro recruiters are looking for in players. Our Combine Events allow college recruiters to assess player progress as they advance through our 12 levels of soft skill training.

Esports Tower Clubs’ quarterly game specific training schedules culminate with a final scholarship tournament. Over this 12-week schedule, coaches train our esports athletes through each level of our Esports Tower Approach™.

OUR ESPORTS TOWER APPROACH™ TO TRAINING

Helps Players Level-Up in Game and in Life.

By being a good sport, you learn respect for others and self-control. These skills can help you manage many other parts of your life. They’re also key to becoming a mature, respectful, and successful adult.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Professionalism in Esports
  • Sportsmanship
  • Self-Control
  • Respect

If you’re fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do. In short, you perform better. Some parts of this are up to parents — such as serving healthy meals or encouraging family activities. But students can take charge too when it comes to their health.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Listen to Your Body
  • Make Good Food Choices
  • Benefits of Good Hydration
  • Deep Breathing Techniques
  • Activity and Screen Time Balance

In esports, characters have supernatural or magical powers, but as humans, we think of this as our internal energy. How we care for our state of mind or mental health matters. We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we react to it and how much we allow situations or others to bother us.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Fighting Stress
  • Power of Gratitude
  • Dealing with Peer Pressure
  • Responding to Cheating

Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Team activities are great practice for when you have a job that requires working with others. Right now, being on a team can be fun because you’re likely all friends. Being put in teams with strangers with similar skill levels will help you learn how to communicate and work better together, just like when you are in the work-world.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Listening Styles
  • Communication Fundamentals
  • Courageous Conversations
  • Conflict Resolution Strategies

Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. The reality is that refocusing, changing, or making a new start on something, no matter how small, is a big deal. But it’s not impossible. With the right approach, you can definitely do it.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Getting Motivated
  • S.M.A.R.T. Goals
  • Self-Discipline
  • Persistence
  • Benefits of the Buddy System

Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. The reality is that refocusing, changing, or making a new start on something, no matter how small, is a big deal. But it’s not impossible. With the right approach, you can definitely do it.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Creative Problem Solving
  • Reframing Situations
  • Finding Inspiration
  • Taking Risks

The skill of understanding others helps us predict what people might feel in a certain situation, but it also allows us to make sense of how people react and guide our interactions with them. Understanding how others feel, act, and react helps us build better relationships and ultimately become better teammates.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Emotional Intelligence 2.0
  • Battling Burnout
  • Gaining Balance

Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities — not in an arrogant way, but in a realistic, secure way. Confidence isn’t about feeling superior to others. It’s a quiet inner knowledge that you’re capable of. Confidence helps us feel ready for life’s experiences. When we’re confident, we’re more likely to move forward with people and opportunities — not back away from them. And if things don’t work out at first, confidence helps us try again.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Mindset – Managing Your Inner Voice
  • Dare to be the Real You
  • Challenging Your Comfort Zone
  • Compare Yourself Kindly
  • Shake Off Doubt & Take Safe Risks
  • Do Your Homework

Mutual support, shared goals, cooperation and encouragement provide workplace synergy. With this, team members are able to feel a greater sense of accomplishment, are collectively responsible for outcomes achieved and feed individuals with the incentive to perform at higher levels.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Goal Alignment
  • The Chemistry of Teamwork
  • Positive Synergy vs. Negative Synergy

How do you keep your skills relevant in an ever-changing world of gaming? Our skill development and training program is always evolving, but we remain focused on core skills needed in any game title – sensory-motor control, conditioning, tactical cognitive abilities, strategic insights.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Game Competencies
  • Factors of Esports Performance
  • Factors of Sports Performance

Effective leaders are essential to any winning team. Because the skills of a leader involve multiple interpersonal and communication skills, anyone can exercise and hone their leadership abilities. Leadership is not just one skill but rather a combination of several different skills working together.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • What are Leadership Skills?
  • Why are Leadership Skills Important?
  • Top 6 Leadership Skills
  • How to Improve Your Leadership Skills?
  • How to be an Effective Leader?

We’ve covered a lot of topics in the last 11 weeks and in this final session we will recap all we’ve learned – from what we’ve accomplished as eSports athletes this quarter to our personal development journey and what we want to work on next.

FUNDAMENTALS TAUGHT

  • Continual Improvement
  • Journey Not the Destination

Learning how to compete effectively supports an array of skills, from the importance of time management and developing a strong ethic to managing losses in a healthy way and rejoicing in their own success.

At ESPORTS TOWER we select only team-based games an continually refine our training based on input from players, coaches, parents, partners, and sponsors. We welcome you to experience the ESPORTS TOWER APPROACH™.

ALBERT YEH

GENERAL MANAGER AT FLORIDA MAYHEM

“Esports are more important than ever. Esports in general provide a lot of opportunities to players. Working in a team environment, get coaching, interact socially with people of the same age and older than you. I think the younger you are, the more time you have to take advantage of these new emerging opportunities that I did not have as a player.”

BENNETT NEWSOME

ESPORTS STRATEGIST AT FULL SAIL UNIVERSITY

“I’m excited to have the partnership with Esports Tower. I think the model bridges those gaps where it’s not just about individual play, but it’s about understanding it, breaking things down, communicating effectively, and bringing everything together in a well rounded player.”

THOMAS “TRIPPY” SCHAPPY

FORMER COACH FOR THE FAZE VALORANT TEAM

“What I loved about talking with Esports Tower players last month is they remind me of myself. they’re eager to learn, open to critique, and unafraid to ask questions. And, some of their players are better than you’d expect – I watched as one took out top-ranked Tenz when they played at this summer’s BFC Smeg Cup hosed by FaZe BabyBay, it only happened once, but it was unexpected and made for great entertainment!”

DR. CHRIS “DOC” HASKEL

HEAD COACH AT BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY

“Watching high-ranked players in solo-queue doesn’t tell us much. What we like about Esports Tower is we get to see players in the development phase. We watch their progress in Rumbles from week to week and ultimately their coachability. As we scout for new talent here at Boise State University, we think of Esports Tower as the AAU of Esports. They have very focused training that prepares gamers for the next level of gameplay after high school.”

2020 Coach Of The Year | 2020 Director Of The Year | 2021 Collegiate Ambassador Esports Award Winner

GEOFF KOWALSKI

CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER OF ESTV

“We experienced some of the highest tune-in rates when we piloted Esports Tower Rumbles last month. Esports Tower gameplay is compelling, and their interview and editorial content provides interesting and entertaining insights of what happens behind the scenes – showing what players do to advance both their gameplay and goals to go pro. It will be a great addition to ESTV programming and sponsorships, given it’s appeal to elusive teen views and their families.”
