Participate and share: Poster 
The purpose of my presentation is to educate current and future esports coaches on the realities of building a team. To share everything, the good and bad, so others can learn from the journey. The process is shared through anecdotes, video from the year, statistical analysis, student interviews, and other relevant documentation. Supporting research that guided decisions for our team will also be referenced. Participants will leave with knowledge and resources that will help build or expand their own esports teams.
