H20 Esports Talent Development Program
You have talent. Success is earned.
If success was based solely on talent, reaching the TOP would come naturally. But those who reach the TOP stand out in their commitment, dedication and ability to allow their talent to flourish. The H20 Esports Talent Development Program helps you harness that potential and start your path to success.
During the TOP program you work not only on your skills as a gamer, but also on essential aspects such as nutrition, sleep rhythm, communication, physical and mental health and a number of other aspects. And you will learn how these factors can affect your performance. In the three weekends below, we will prepare you for the physical, mental and personal challenges of a professional esports career.
- Weekend 1 - March 1 & 2
- Weekend 2 - March 22 & 23
- Weekend 3 - April 12 & 13
For a fee of €200, you can participate in all three weekends.

Weekend 1: Zero Measurement and Inspiration
The goal of Weekend 1: Are you ready to really get to know yourself? The first weekend is all about discovering who you are, physically, mentally and personally. With challenging tests, inspiring workshops and conversations with a TOP coach you will get a clear picture of your strengths and the areas where you can still grow.
But that's just the beginning! Based on these insights, you are going to set your own goals. These are not standard goals, but concrete steps that will help you grow - not only as a player, but also as a person. These goals become your roadmap to the TOP, and you determine the path.
In weekend 1, you lay a solid foundation for your professional esports career. This is where your adventure to the TOP begins.

Weekend 2: Chaos and Adaptability
The goal of weekend 2: How do you react when things go differently than planned?

Sometimes you have no control over what happens, but how you handle it can make all the difference in the TOP.
During this weekend, you will engage in various activities and workshops that will take you out of your routine. You'll learn how unexpected events affect your performance, focus and confidence - and, more importantly, how to come out of this stronger.

Have you pushed your personal and professional boundaries? What went well, and where is there room for improvement?
But that's not all! We have some great workshops and activities planned this weekend as well, specially designed to bring you one step closer to the TOP. This is your chance to show off what you've learned and get the latest tools for your journey to the TOP level in esports.

''At TOP, I learned to stay calm as a team leader through breathing''
''I have become mentally stronger. I now take charge better in stressful situations and, above all, I have gotten to know myself a lot better''.
Beau Wigchert - Sim Racing
