Gaming is all about skills. There are games targeted at casual gamers. Still, most games are about developing the correct set of skills and strategies to overcome various challenges or win over your fellow players.
For avid gamers, getting better is just part of the challenge. There’s just this competitive fire in every one of us that makes us want to squeeze every bit of performance we can get out of our bodies. But where do we start?
We all know the drill; when it comes to gaming, practice is king. You need to put in the time to get to know the game, its mechanics and meta, and develop your game enough to build consistency for proper in-game performance.
But what about other ways beyond that? Here are a few extra things you can do.
Practicing is an integral part of improving your game, but there’s also the risk of burning yourself out. Once mental fatigue sets in, you risk not just losing focus but also diminishing your confidence or losing your drive to play. It’s best to take breaks regularly, to allow yourself some time to refresh and recover.
It’s also essential for our brains to absorb as many details from every match or session that we play. By allowing enough time to process and break down information from played games properly, we can use more details to improve our overall performance.
Reviewing gameplay is a big part of Esports, and has become a good way for even non-pro players to improve their game. But with the conveniences of modern technology, it’s also become too easy to delay reviewing these matches, with many thinking they can do reviews whenever they want. This just reduces the effectiveness of reviewing your games.
It’s part of human nature to learn from our mistakes, but there are a lot of details involved in games played from the successive actions you take, to the sequence of events in a match, and even why you do certain things in specific situations.
It’s best to sit back and review mistakes, either alone or with a coach from WeCoach, to spot missed opportunities while the memory is still fresh. This allows us to make proper mental notes of what went wrong and how to address those mistakes.
Your gaming performance is more than just about quick fingers and good reflexes. Having good overall health means you are in a better position to improve. You can think of good health as having a higher potential when it comes to gaming, and having better health means you’re in a better position to perform well.
Good overall health also means having better blood circulation, which leads to better concentration for long games and matches. Regular exercise can do a lot for us in this regard, and staying active goes a long way.
Keeping yourself hydrated is another aspect of your body's health that can significantly affect performance. Even low levels can affect a person’s concentration, so be mindful and drink enough liquids, even when you are busy.
Attuning yourself to nature is a big part of maintaining our health, and getting in some sun goes farther than most people expect. Vitamin D is essential, but there’s more to this than just the nutrients. After long gaming sessions, taking a walk in the sun can help us relax and refresh, helping us shake off accumulated fatigue.
There’s also the matter of our body’s routine that needs to be kept in check. Our body needs its daily dose of sunlight to keep the body clock working right, but if you miss out on those rays, you may not get a good night’s sleep, which can lead to stress and fatigue piling up. To keep our bodies in the best condition for every match, soak up that sunlight, even if it’s just taking in some sun and fresh air through an open window.
Your gaming environment and the power of silence play a big part in your ability to perform well in any game. A quiet place where you can focus on the game is always better compared to an area where there are a lot of distractions surrounding you. Silence itself can be a powerful tool for mental focus, helping you stay fully attentive, make better decisions, and react faster in key moments of a game.
The way you sit and the position of your body are also factors in your gaming performance just as much as any other detail we’ve covered so far. This means that investing in a good gaming chair, or better yet, an ergonomic one, can go a long way. Don’t skimp on your headset either; invest in one that provides excellent comfort even during those long periods of use.
All in all, when your surroundings and posture work together, you create a setup that allows you to stay in the zone for longer sessions without fatigue, maximizing both your focus and performance.
