Session description

So you have an Esports team going, but now what? What can tools are out there for you to use to enhance your program? We will cover some free tools to help you grow and manage your program.

Purpose & objective

Participants will take their program to the next level, by utilizing free tools to help them manage their program and grow their brand. After you have figured out how to manage your program, there are additional tools out there to help make your program more successful and more professional. I have personally used all of the tools I will be talking about or I know other coaches who have used these and talked with them about these tools. I will discuss Discord bots, stream overlays, stream music, and some social media tools as well. I would also like to give any attendees a chance to mention some of their favorite tools.
