\n<\/span>COPE was created earlier this year by David Herzog,<\/strong> the father of Fortnite professional player Crimz<\/strong>, and Shae Williams<\/strong>, the mother of Vanish<\/strong> content creator Duster<\/strong>. The organisation looks to share parental knowledge to esports professionals, advising players on contracts, tax on prize winnings, practice regimes, player wellbeing, plus\u00a0post-competitive educational and career opportunities.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The organisation also looks to connect parents of gamers with each other to share knowledge. Following COPE\u2019s inception,\u00a0Anne Fish<\/strong>, the mother of British Fortnite player Benjyfishy<\/strong>, Johnny Troset Andersen<\/strong>, the father of 100 Thieves\u2019 MrSavage<\/strong>, and Chris Spikoski<\/strong>, father of Misfits\u2019 Sceptic<\/strong>, and more have joined its support network.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>COPE co-founder and former IBM executive, Shae Williams,<\/strong> commented: \u201cLike any sport, parental involvement is key to success. We want to encourage parents to get more involved in understanding their child\u2019s passion and helping them get the most out of their esports experiences.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the release, the partnership will also help strengthen British Esports\u2019 advice section, situated on its website, with the organisation already offering a careers advice hub and esports parents guide.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
On the partnership, Tom Dore, Head of Education at the British Esports Association,<\/strong> commented: \u201cCOPE has done a lot of good work in a short amount of time and we\u2019re delighted to be partnering with them, to help spread the message of esports.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to continuing to educate other parents and up-and-coming esports talent around the world, to help them make a successful career in esports and reap the rewards.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Esports Insider says: The British Esports Association\u2019s partnership with COPE looks like another string to their bow, and strengthens the goal to better promote and support grassroots esports. Overall, the collaboration allows British Esports to develop its advice section whilst also boosting COPE\u2019s profile, which in turn helps support esports players and connect more parents associated with the industry. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
