Amped Gaming News has conducted a thought provoking interview with Bill Phillips. Online, he is known as "coach", and is a father who takes an active role in his son's Counter-Strike clan entitled Blindside, who is currently competing in CAL-invite and tearing up local LAN tournaments. In it, he addresses how parents should support their son/daughter in anything that he/she does in his/her life.
Do you think more parents should get involved in the eSports scene and if so why?Although it may not be baseball or a true athletic sport, "coach" still states that being involved in whatever the offspring of parents take part of, such as Counter-Strike, is still crucial. Check out this most enjoyable read.
coach - First and foremost, I think parents should stand behind their children in whatever they decide to do. Whether it be playing football, baseball, basketball, soccer, and yes, even eSports. What I've come to notice that all of the kids that are into eSports are very intelligent people, and as it is for shortehh, he gets judged for what he does, and not who he is and how smart he is. Some of the athletes, when they are done with school, and their knees are shot, will not have enough brains to carry on in this world. There is one thing that I always want everyone to remember; knowledge is power. Is it bad that kids stay inside playing on their computers or do you want them causing trouble in the streets. The community of CS is unique and people need to get in and see what you guys are all about before they speak of the so called "inside freaks".
