Parents Are Hiring “Fortnite Coaches” To Improve Play, Help Children Level Up

(Bleacher Report) As Fortnite Battle Royale continues to dominate the world of video games, parents are starting to invest in coaches in the same way they would for sports or academics.

On Tuesday, Sarah E. Needleman of the Wall Street Journal reported parents are throwing down between $10 and $20 per hour so their kids can level up and become better Fortnite players.

“There’s pressure not to just play it but to be really good at it,” Ally Hicks, who purchased four hours of lessons for her 10-year-old son, told the WSJ. “You can imagine what that was like for him at school.”
