One of the most significant outcomes of fusing cybersecurity competitions with eSports and traditional athletics is the opportunity it creates to develop and train the vital, cognitive skills needed for the success of our future workforce. Cognitive conditioning is about readiness, not intelligence.

Today's most valuable skill is the ability to process information, make decisions, apply learning, and adapt quickly. With these skills, cyber athletes are better equipped to operate at higher levels of focus, improved instincts, extend situational awareness, and build mental resilience and strategic thinking.

In their Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity, NICE recognizes that those performing cybersecurity work—including students, job seekers, and early professionals—"are lifelong learners throughout their efforts to emphasize and address cybersecurity implications across many domains.” (NICE Framework)

The US Cyber Games is designed to apply the NICE Framework from the start to identify, assess, select, and form the US Cyber Team.
