Training, team spirit and empowerment: the Equal eSports Bootcamp with Adidas!

From April 22 to 26, 2025, 20 talents from all over Europe - including the Valorant team SK Nebula - met at the Adidas Campus in Herzogenaurach for the next Equal eSports bootcamp. The aim of the event: promoting female players and non-binary talents in eSports in a targeted manner - physically, mentally and personally.

High performance meets eSports

The bootcamp participants used Adidas' state-of-the-art infrastructure for intensive training: gym sessions, performance coaching and mental resilience were on the agenda, as were workshops on social media, career paths after active eSports time and healthy routines in everyday life. The bootcamp was supported by experienced Valorant, League of Legends and Brawl Stars coaches.

More than just gaming

What's special: The Equal eSports initiative focuses on holistic support. “Our talents are role models and give eSports a new face,” emphasized Julius Althoff from the esports player foundation. The collaboration with Adidas also sends a strong signal: equality in sport and promotion based on performance - not gender.

Voices from the campus

Player Noah “PuriTy” Lopez was delighted: "I was pleasantly surprised - the bootcamp was inspiring, instructive and opened up new perspectives for me. I hope to be back next time!"

A look into the future

The bootcamp on the Adidas campus provided the perfect setting to sustainably promote women and non-binary talent in eSports. Long-term support under professional conditions will continue to be our top priority in the future, which is why this boot camp will certainly not be the last of its kind!
