Do Kids Show More Interest In Esports Instead Of Traditional Sports?

In traditional sports, a player is selected for his skills and the skills are different for different leagues and the infrastructure is very complicated. The journey to becoming a pro in traditional sports often is not completed due to an injury or some other problems. Many players go through the system until they become a pro, or they eventually stop playing.

The infrastructure and all the requirements are fair but esports is accessible from home and there is no fear of injury and there is no need to pay a large amount of money for tournaments. Esports offers multiple benefits including better communication, fast learning, teamwork, and leadership.
