Many Esports players retire early in their lives, usually in their late thirties to their early forties. This is due to Esports professionals’ requiring rapid reactions and quick thinking.which, when athletes reach their thirties, most athletes experience their reflexes and mental clarity deteriorate.

Many athletes choose live streaming, Esports game commentary, or esports administration as worthwhile careers once their competition days are over. Many of these streamers succeed in becoming very wealthy by sharing their personalities and playing video games online. Streamers are people who want to become famous for their personalities and gaming ability. They come from a variety of backgrounds.

However, the awards, such as Provincial and Protea Colours, which athletes can earn through Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) equip athletes with the necessary opportunity to acquire bursaries to study further at a tertiary educational level.

Such opportunity allows athletes to become experts in their field and earn far better incomes than what a retired athlete would earn on playing experience alone.

By studying further, esports athletes are then able to enter many more fields which will aid and assist esports to a far greater degree.
