Tim Ballintine approached me over a year ago wanting to discuss a new thing he was working on around eSports. At that time I thought it was a fad and respectfully declined as I rolled my eyes. Then, last spring Tim posted an image of a standing-room-only crowd cheering on two people on trainers, perhaps Tim was on to something?
I reached out to Tim to discuss how eSports has grown and continues to grow, the many opportunities for coaches and athletes to be a part of it, and how racing in the pre-season can produce results during race season.
