🎮 Quick Tip Tuesday: Perfect Your Posture for Peak Performance! 🧍♂️ Did you know that your posture can impact your gaming performance? At Esports Coaching Academy, we emphasize the importance of maintaining good posture to enhance both comfort and efficiency during gameplay. Here’s a tip to help you sit strong and play long: Tip of the Week: "Adopt the 90-90-90 Rule." 🪑 Make sure your elbows, hips, and knees are all at 90-degree angles when sitting. This alignment helps reduce strain on your back and neck, keeps your muscles relaxed, and allows for better hand-eye coordination. Over time, this can improve your reaction times and overall gameplay. Take care of your body so you can focus on your game. Read and learn more about the 90-90-90 posture on our short blog below.
