Abstract

Just at the moment when gaming has achieved broad cultural acceptance, a new way of using commercial sport video games is emerging, which adds a new perspective on the educational and social value games may offer for learning. This research calls attention to how elite athletes are currently using commercial video games for training purposes and the potential the games may afford for all elite athletes who can play as their “second-self.”
