Esports has been the fastest-growing industry around the globe, as the number of games and prize earnings are dramatically increasing. Esports is defined as competitive sport video gaming; more individuals are beginning to pursue this as a profession. Just like the University of California, Irvine, which offers a program to enhance esports skills and performance, the number of such institutions are expected to increase in this century; yet, research on how individuals effectively optimize esports performance is lacking. Specifically, how teachers or instructors lead players to enhance their esports performance has not been extensively discussed. The review article aimed to introduce two motivational factors that, from the existing movement science and psychological literature, have consistently been demonstrated to enhance motor skills (physical tasks): enhanced expectancies for success and autonomy support. Practical implications for enhancing esports performance and future direction were also discussed.

电子竞技一直是全球增长最快的行业，因为游戏数量和奖金收入都在急剧增加。电子竞技被定义为竞技体育视频游戏；越来越多的人开始将此作为一种职业。就像加州大学欧文分校提供提高电子竞技技能和表现的项目一样，预计本世纪此类机构的数量将增加；然而，缺乏关于个人如何有效优化电子竞技表现的研究。具体来说，教师或指导员如何带领选手提升电竞成绩，目前还没有被广泛讨论。该评论文章旨在介绍两个激励因素，从现有的运动科学和心理学文献中，一直被证明可以提高运动技能（体力任务）：提高对成功和自主支持的期望。还讨论了提高电子竞技性能和未来方向的实际意义。
