Esports Coach Academy (ECA) is an Icelandic startup offering a software-as-a-service platform and training strategies that enable coaches to start esports youth programming. The platform provides tools, resources and knowledge for coaches to earn coaching 'badges' and teaches elements of coaching strategy. ECA also offers courses on physical and lifestyle topics, including 'exercise in esports' and 'nutrition in esports.' The software helps coaches track gameplay patterns, technical changes and social/physical factors that affect player performance. The company says around 3% of Icelandic children are enrolled in one of the country's esports coaching clubs tied to its approach. Co-founder Ólafur Steinarsson began building a grassroots esports environment in Iceland in 2018, and ECA plans to expand overseas following its initial domestic traction.
