This is the first book to focus on the psychology of esports and competitive gaming, bridging the gap between traditional sports psychology and the unique demands of digital competition. In doing so, it provides comprehensive insights into cognitive processes, motivation, personality traits, performance enhancement techniques, and the challenges faced by professional esports players.

The book is structured into three distinct sections, addressing the Foundations of Esports Psychology; Mental Optimization and Strategic Excellence; and Mental Health and Practical Applications. Featuring contributions from over 25 international experts, each chapter provides research insights and evidence-based strategies for competitive gaming environments. Topics include rapid decision-making in FPS/MOBA games, managing "always-on" training schedules, virtual team coordination, coping with online toxicity, and ethical considerations for young professionals. The book also emphasizes that esports requires distinct theoretical frameworks, rather than simply adapting traditional sports psychology.

Written accessibly whilst maintaining academic rigour, this is essential reading for sports psychologists, esports coaches, competitive gamers, researchers, students in sports psychology and esports management programmes, and organizations building sustainable gaming ecosystems that prioritize excellence and player well-being.

Benjamin T. Sharpe is a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Psychology, and Director of the Human Attention Laboratory, within the Institute of Psychology, Business, and Human Sciences at the University of Chichester, UK.

Dylan R. Poulus is a Senior Research Fellow at Movember, and a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Southern Cross University, Australia.
