VISTA Table Talk, Summer Series Episode 3: Youth in Esports

VISTA Table Talk is a virtual series hosted by Up2Us Sports where we provide an opportunity for our VISTA members to come together to discuss the work they’re doing and the impact their organizations are making. The goal of VISTA is to provide organizations with capacity building AmeriCorps members to support organizations' mission to alleviate poverty. 

On this episode Tan Flint leads us in a conversation along with Up2Us Summer VISTA Ben Huges and Eastern Tennessee State University Esports Production Coordinator Leigh Nutter, as they discuss Esports, its origins and how it's transitioned from a hobby to a mainstream sport. They also discuss how youth sports leaders can make Esports more accessible to get youth involved with Esports.

The episode will air on the Up2Us VISTA IGTV Channel and Up2Us Sports YouTube Channel on Monday, August 15th at 12pm ET. It will also stream on the Up2Us Sports Spotify channel.
