According to studies playing video games is not the best indoor activity there is, it is correlated to aggression problems, but it is not only bad for you; it enhances both decision making and reaction times at people.

Introduction:
Computer games are becoming more popular than ever before, with companies like Blizzard Entertainment and Riot Games pushing the e-Sport (electronic sports) scene beyond what thought possible. There are people who live off gaming, playing tournaments streamed via various website with hundred thousands of live viewers. These professional gamers become peoples role models, just like in any other sport. When I was younger my biggest role model was Johan Petersson from the Swedish handball team; obviously, seen from a parents and strict strategic point of view, this is a better role model than Stephen “Snoopeh” Ellis (a professional gamer and my current role model).
When I was young, what do you think my biggest goal was? To become what Johan Peterson is, in my opinion by far the best right wing (right wing is a position in handball where J. P played) in all of Sweden. So what do you think I did when I could? I played handball, I went outside the house and threw my handball at the garage port get better. Implement this in todays society where a lot of peoples role models are professional gamers. Is this a problem? Will this affect us, the society, in a bad way? Will this create bad habits?
