My Biggest Regret In Life Is Not Being an eSports Gamer

Professional Video Gamer > Professional Athlete

Just like most boys, I grew up with dreams of becoming a professional athlete.

My parents encouraged me to train hard and reach for the stars, but there was only one slight problem.

I had limited baseball skills, no basketball skills and an overall lack of athleticism.

Even still, I received blind athletic encouragement from my parents.

If eSports was around in the 90’s, everything might be different today.

Soccer practice could have been Super Smash practice.

Tennis lessons could have been Golden-Eye golden gun lessons.

Mom & Dad’s 1 hour daily video game limit could have been a 1 hour daily limit of overrated things like exercise and reading.

Instead of “go play outside Kevin”, it could have been “go race Rainbow Road on 250cc, Kevin.”

I am convinced that if I had no daily limit on the number of hours of Super Smash, Golden-Eye or Mario Kart 64, I would have reached my dream of being a professional athlete.

Why couldn’t eSports have been around when I was a kid!?

I could have…

Been Famous

Had groupies

Made A Ton of Money

Without having to…..

Run

Lift

Eat Healthy

So yes, looking back I would rather be a professional eSports gamer than a professional athlete.

The glitz. The glamour. eSports.
