09/24/20 • 54 min

Esportz Network contributor Devon and Mitch talk about the roles of esports coaches, how they've evolved and why they still have a ways to go. This was recored in mid-summer but held as it wasn't as time sensitive as other podcasts. With that being said, some of the statements don't make a ton of sense timing wise but the majority of the conversation about esports coaches still makes sense.
