The International Esports Federation (IESF) today announced the extended collaboration with FITGMR for the following year. The collaboration is committed to providing the right tools and support for gamers to prosper and reach their highest potential during the championships.
During the World Esports Championships 2022 in Bali, Indonesia, FITGMR hosted numerous workshops promoting the importance of the health and well-being of players and contributing to their overall successful performance.
IESF President Vlad Marinescu said: “IESF is extremely proud to be working with FITGMR once again. After receiving amazing feedback from players during the 14th World Esports Championships, we are sure that this year our collaboration will contribute even more to the overall performance. FITGMR supports our goal and mission of providing the best possible environment for our athletes to perform in and continuously promotes the importance of well-being. We can’t wait to see the impact of this partnership in Iasi.”
Throughout the next year, the close collaboration between IESF and FITGMR will provide the esports family variety of workshops, exercises, and tips on workouts, nutrition, and mental health while covering FITGMR’s five pillars of health.
FITGMR CEO Kristin Anderson said: “It is our mission to educate the world on what it means to be a cognitive athlete and to provide those athletes with the tools they need to perform at their highest potential. Changing the narrative around health, well-being, gaming, and esports is a massive undertaking. It is not intuitive to many why the FITGMR 5 Pillars of Health matter to a gamer. Having the IESF behind us, and spreading this message, is a tremendous wind in our sail. Finding partners like IESF who are as passionate as we are at developing the next generation of gamers gives me confidence that change is not only possible but a certainty.”
FITGMR will again be part of the World Esports Championships 2023 in Iasi from August 24 to September 4. They will focus on guiding players on how to reduce stress, and anxiety, maintain their strength and stamina, prevent burnout, and improve team dynamics.
With 120 nations, the 15th WE Championships will be the largest edition of IESF’s flagship event, topping the 2022 WE Championships in Bali, Indonesia, which featured over 600 athletes.
