Global Esports announced the signing of a contract with sports psychologist Edgar Chekera. Edgar has experience working with prominent organizations such as FNATIC, EXCEL, Manchester City, Team Falcons, and Guild Esports.
A licensed psychologist with over a decade of experience working with athletes in 17 different sports, Edgar will be working with Global Esports players in anticipation of the 2024 season of the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT), which includes the VCT Pacific League in Seoul.
I am excited to join Global Esports and assist the team in achieving success. I believe that mental preparation is a key factor in achieving high results, and I will work with the players to ensure they are ready for any challenges.
Edgar's addition to Global Esports reunites him with Russel “Russ” Mendes, whom he previously led while serving as the head coach at Guild Esports. Their collaboration at Guild Esports led to the team qualifying for the VALORANT Masters Copenhagen in 2022, where they became one of three representatives from the EMEA region and reached the quarterfinals.
Global Esports is joining the wave of teams incorporating sports psychologists in the APAC region to enhance their performance. Several other clubs have taken similar steps in the past.
