Founded Coalition of Parents in Esports with other parents of Pro Players and Influencers with a mission to provide better information, resources and support to gamers and their families. Upon entering esports like many parents through the passions of a child, I recognized the amazing opportunities this brave new industry afforded to my son’s personal, educational and career development and wanted other parents to see the positive opportunities for growth.Many parents feel overwhelmed by their fears about gaming and social media, but COPE wants to show parents that it is a sport like any other where parents can support and cheer their child’s achievements. The outcome of any youth activity is more beneficial with more parent involvement. Not every child will attain pro competitive just like any sport, but the career opportunities across entertainment, coaching, marketing, finance, medical and even art make this an exciting opportunity for anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit and drive.COPE provides support and resources thought their partnerships across skills development, child safety, wellness, education and career needs. The team also has a mission to support youth through scholarships to be used for career development, travel to events and education. Vanish Duster is 16, streaming nightly on Twitch, undecided on college and career, but he knows it will be in esports.
