Astralis staffed the coaching staff with a performance specialist and psychologist

Danish esports organization Astralis has announced the signing of a performance specialist and psychologist for their CS:GO team. The new team will enter the club's coaching staff to help the squad return to its peak level next season.

We still have a couple of roles to fill, but we've come a long way as we work to modernize the organization and energize the team. We enter 2023 with a clear structure and structure and a roster designed to meet our performance expectations.

The new organization still has a few roles to fill in the coming weeks, but the structure, methods and foundations are in place. This means that we enter the new year with focus and firm faith in the future.

Jan O Jorgensen, a former professional tennis player, will work to improve the performance of the players. Interestingly, the Dane joined Astralis Talent last year, where he worked with youth. Together with him, the team achieved some success - they won several local championships, and also reached the final part of WePlay Academy League Season 3 and WePlay Academy League Season 5 twice.

After the promotion, the specialist's job responsibilities will include improving the performance of the players of the Astralis main team.

In turn, Bjarne Slot Christiansen is presented as a new psychologist. The seasoned Danish specialist has previously worked with some of the local big-time sports stars, including Olympic badminton champion Viktor Axelsen, tennis player Holger Rune and the CSC cycling team.

As a reminder, the Astralis organization recently made changes to its starting lineup by signing the young Buzz from the MASONIC team. In addition, at the end of autumn, the club returned dev1ce, who managed to make his debut for the team at recent tournaments.

The next championship for the Danish team is ESL Pro League Season 17. However, there is a chance to see Astralis in action a little earlier - at the opening tournament from BLAST.
