Abstract
This research explores how esports involvement affects college and career readiness factors of students aged 14-24. These factors include student academic performance, attendance, individual view of future outlook, observation of student learned soft skills as a result of esports, as well as the sense of involvement on campus. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, esports helps build a sense of community, aids in character development, and helps increase participation and engagement for students; furthermore, esports also allows for opportunities to explore STEM-related fields (NFHS Parent's Guide). As this is a major cause for the support of esports in education, the research aims to explore these concepts and its validity through individual students.
