"How do I change my behavior?" - Beliefs, Timelines, and Identity, Part 1
-We don't respond to events. We actually respond to OURSELVES. People or events (externals) are just a catalyst or a way to reveal something about ourselves (internal).
1 hour deep dive in comments
Most of us spend so much energy wanting to connect with others but fail to even spend time with ourselves. We avoiding spending real time with ourselves through escape - games, food, even thoughts.

Pros will say they know exactly what they did wrong and how to improve but don't improve or consistently get the results they desire. It's probably some combination of insufficient awareness, lack of critical thinking, or ego.
Zach Mazer went from a mechanical meme to having fundamentally sound mechanics. He's not out-aiming people but his mechanics don't hold him back anymore, which is all high-level play requires.
Critical thinking can be useful for aim training, but holy shit just turning off your brain and going monke on scenarios for 30-90 minutes can get massive gains too.
I think a good in-between is just Observe and React with no predetermined thoughts about how it should be.
Optimizers and maximalists vilify "go through the motions", but it is actually pretty op for most things because people just don't do what they're supposed to do.
If I was a pro in any FPS game, I'd get on a call with @liquidrapha to just get his take on mentality and practices to continuously be the best.
His responses to interviews shows a completely different mindset than most esport pros today.

Everyone can help shape the plan, and that's usually a good thing.
But once your IGL makes the final call, the team commits to it. Until then, helping run the team is your job too.
When the pressure's on, explaining every call can cost you the timing.
"Come to me." "Go left." "Shoot right."
Short calls usually win the fight. The reasons can wait for the VOD review.
