Background

Oskar is a pioneering force in the intersection of esports health and performance. In 2017, he founded EsportsHP, the world’s first multi-professional health and performance team dedicated to esports athletes.

With a background as an occupational therapist, Oskar became deeply passionate about helping esports players unlock their highest potential through a focus on both physical and mental health. His journey began when he watched a Dota 2 tournament and, in frustration, noticed glaring issues in player ergonomics, nutrition, and overall health – leading him to dive into the esports scene with the mission to revolutionize how players approach their well-being. Oskar’s work quickly caught the attention of top esports organizations. His unique, holistic approach with mentality, physiotherapy, nutrition and sleep, set him apart as a leader in the field.

Under his guidance, teams like Godsent CS:GO made significant strides, climbing from outside the top 100 to top 12 in the world with 2 different teams. Oskar’s impact also extended to Malmö FF FIFA, where his support helped elevate the team to become Swedens best FIFA team, with player Zackarias Johansson qualifying for and placing top 13 in the prestigious eChampions League.

Oskar authored The Perfect Gamer, a book on esports health and performance, discussing the importance of holistic wellness in esports. His work is not just about helping athletes, it’s about transforming the entire approach to esports, focusing on sustainable performance and well-being.
