The book is structured into three distinct sections, addressing the Foundations of Esports Psychology; Mental Optimisation and Strategic Excellence; and Mental Health and Practical Applications. Featuring contributions from over 25 international experts, each chapter provides research insights and evidence-based strategies for competitive gaming environments. Topics include rapid decision-making in FPS/MOBA games, managing "always-on" training schedules, virtual team coordination, coping with online toxicity, and ethical considerations for young professionals. The book also emphasises that esports requires distinct theoretical frameworks, rather than simply adapting traditional sports psychology.
Written accessibly whilst maintaining academic rigour, this is essential reading for sports psychologists, esports coaches, competitive gamers, researchers, students in sports psychology and esports management programmes, and organisations building sustainable gaming ecosystems that prioritise excellence and player well-being.
