In a time when parents around the world are becoming increasingly concerned about how much time their children are spending in front of the computer screen playing popular video games like Fortnite, one Canadian father is sparking controversy for supporting his son’s eSports career, going as far as pulling him out of school so he could dedicate more time to video games.
pulling out of school = van school halen
to dedicate = toewijden aan
Why did the boy's father pull him out of school?
The boy got bad grades
The father was concerned
To focus on playing videogames
To support his soccer-career
While his father claims he has an innate gift for gaming, his success isn’t all talent. Jordan spends between 8 to 10 hours every day playing Fortnite, eats in front of his computer so he can watch YouTube videos and talk with his teammates, and attends school classes online, so he doesn’t loose too much time away from the keyboard.
innate = aangeboren
to attend = bijwonen
How does Jordan train his gaming talent?
Jordan feels lucky to have a father that supports him the way Dave does. He himself is aware that he is missing out on a lot of things, like sitting around with his friends at school, but he has come to see this as a necessary sacrifice. His goal is to make enough money to not have to work for most of his life, and if that means spending most of his time in his room playing video games, then so be it.
sacrifice = offer
What is Jordan's life goal?
Game everyday of his life and get a girlfriend
To win every tournament he plays
To be rich and get a normal job
Make enough money to not have to work for most of his life
