E-sports
In community centers and youth centers throughout the country, professional e-sports work is carried out, where they work with a wide group of young people. It is important to reach out to young people, increase social skills, reduce social isolation, engage them in daily work and in e-sports clubs where the emphasis is on a professional approach and healthy gaming practices. In order to be successful, as in other sports, you need to practice regularly, work together, follow a game plan, eat healthy food, get enough sleep and be in good shape.
