In this episode I talk about "getting the advantage". This is an important idea in the competitive arenas where we often find ourselves, in game and out. So how do we figure it out? What questions do we need to ask? What are the fundamental ideas? In this brief episode, I hope to give some additional perspectives in how you can think better to try and improve your game.

#012: Valorant - First Thoughts Apr 03, 2020

Show notes

In this podcast I talk about Valorant! I had an opportunity to play the beta and I wanted to give you guys some of my initial thoughts. They are all positive. This game is polished, fun, and a high skill ceiling. I don't think there's a world where this game isn't very successful; Riot has done so much right with this, I hope it sends a message to other developers looking to get into the FPS esports space!

#006: Jared Tendler - The Mental Game Jan 21, 2020

Show notes

Jared Tendler is a highly accomplished sports psychologist that has worked with elite poker players, golfers, traders and now esports athletes. We know him for his work with TeamLiquid and he is held in high esteem by everyone I've spoken with who has worked with him including ELiGE, zews, etc. In this podcast I try to hit as many topics as I can think of in the sports psychology realm as it's such a rare privilege to speak to someone with so much knowledge and practical expertise in this field. Check out jaredtendler.com/free where you can attain free copies in audiobook form of Jared's best selling books on the mental game of poker-- and believe me, these ideas apply to CS as well. Enjoy!
