Market leader in performance coaching in elite sports, the Talent Academy Group (TAG), is partnering with H20 Esports Campus. This will allow them to help talent in gaming and esports develop to their full potential. Together with other partners, an international talent development program will be set up. Later this year, the first track will start with the first group of talented gamers, who can register as of now via this link can sign up. Talents who want to get the best out of themselves will - after a selection procedure - be intensively coached to achieve top performances.
TAG market leader in performance coaching
The Talent Academy Group consists of various companies with one goal: to coach people to perform at their best. Founder and co-owner Marco Hoogerland: "We have been doing this for more than 20 years, and TAG is the market leader in the world of top sport. Footballers from Ajax, PSV and the Dutch team, for example, use TAG's expertise, as do top hockey players and the Dutch handball team, which won the world championship last year. The step to esports is actually logical, because apart from top-class sports we are also active in the entertainment world. Various Youtubers, influencers and artists are coached by us."
Esports is top-class sport
Dirk Tuip, founder H20 Esports Campus: "From the very beginning of our plans about 5 years ago, we kept in mind that we see esports as a top-class sport. We believe that if you really want to compete at the top, you need to go through a total development in various areas. Esports can learn a lot from the way this is organised in top sport. From this approach we want to bring esports in The Netherlands to a higher level. The Talent Academy Group fits in perfectly."
Talent Development Programme
We are currently working on a first batch of talents that we will support. These talents will be challenged in a 6-month programme through various sessions to develop themselves optimally. For this purpose TAG will structurally get an office space within the H20 Esports Campus. Talented gamers in all games can now apply for this programme.
You have talent. You have to earn success.
Marco Hoogerland: "TAG creates the conditions for success. Because everyone has the right to develop their unique talent. That's not a soft message, it's hard work. Together we take up the challenge. Entrepreneurs and teams, athletes, artists and now also esports enthusiasts who want to conquer the world. We recognise that ambition, so our involvement is boundless. This is based on the vision that everything must be right: physically, mentally and socially. You can train that. That is what TAG calls performance coaching."
