HONORED to be the lead contributing author (first author) for Chapter 13 (Esports Management) of the 8th edition of Human Kinetics’ Contemporary Sport Management textbook! Since my entry into Sport Management higher education, Contemporary Sport Management, one of the most popular and widely-used introductory level Sport Management textbooks on the market globally, has been one of my most-valued resources for introducing aspiring sport professionals to the fundamentals of the sport industry. Through Chapter 13, sport management scholars are re-introduced to the esports industry, including its benefits, career pathways, and its convergence with the sport sector. From its 1st edition to its current 8th edition, Contemporary Sport Management continues to provide undergraduate sport management scholars with the fundamentals necessary to gain a keen understanding of the sport industry, so it's an immense privilege to have co-authored chapters in both the 7th and 8th editions of this textbook! Thanks Editor Paul Pedersen, for your exemplary leadership throughout the publication process. A special salute to my fellow chapter co-authors: Dina Gentile & Minna Rollins, my fellow contributing co-authors, Human Kinetics staff, and #JCSU alumnus Emanuel Reid, whose professional profile was featured in Chapter 13, for your role in contributing to this stellar educational resource!

Smith University Esports and Gaming Trifecta, First at an HBCU, as well as my alma maters: South Carolina State University, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, United States Sports Academy, and North Carolina Central University School of Law, and my phenomenal sorority, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
