We want to ensure that athletes are given the support they need during this difficult time and throughout their career.“   *

**Jamie Kiff, Co-Founder & CSO Gscience**



> "Being an esports player is more and more stressful and demanding. Nowadays, we need to be real athletes, handling a high level of competition and pressure, an intense schedule and always being on top. It’s crucial to be supported in terms of performance and health, in the long term. Some of us already have great support from our organisations, but a lot of players don’t have that chance yet, even from the best teams. So I find it fantastic that Prodigy Agency is taking the initiative, commiting for their players.”
