Great read. Lots of benefits to gaming and should be seen as an acceptable form of leisure and recreation. Many pro wrestlers game too - helps recovery as they aren’t using their bodies which are stressed from workouts and matches

Great read, I knew F1 drivers did a lot of sim racing, but fun to read about benefits for high level ball players. As a kid playing baseball, a lot my fielding techniques came from seeing how players would move while playing EA MVP Baseball ‘04 & ‘05. If they tracked MLB players movements to simulate the game, then that’s probably what they did on the field. It was like my own pro fielding coach.

Finally, someone addressing this! Lando becoming a PlayStation Playmaker in 2024 felt like a seamless partnership, and videogames and gamification for me are set to play a pivotal role in the forever evolving landscape of sports, fashion, and beauty.
