- What are you not willing to do?
Oftentimes, improvement is staring us in the face. We know, deep down, what we need to do. But we don't. Why?
By asking the right questions and confronting ourselves with honesty and humility, we will unlock new important paths to improving ourselves.
I hope you find this video valuable!

This is such an inspiring way to look at things. I've been plateauing and arguably even performing worse than ever, both in aim trainers and Valorant. The moment you mentioned the question, so many things popped into my head - my irregular sleep pattern, procrastinating of schoolwork, putting off gym, putting off VOD reviews etc. I don't think a RUclips video has ever resonated with me so well, and I can't wait to immediately start improving things and hopefully see success after doing so. Great work Dan.
Thank you! I'm glad to hear it, thank you for sharing. We got this.
Playing for 6+ hours with limited sleep; "sees my headshot percentage go down and aim deteriorate, then chose to aim train more and practice, rather than sleeping and resetting..."
I like how you put yourself through the exercise yourself. We all have to hold ourselves accountable no matter who and where we are in our lives. Thank you for this video
You seriously have been making the best videos lately and ive been sharing these videos with everyone i know. Keep it up because youve definitely found content people want and there isnt much of it out there thats as in depth as you get and i know people stumble across your videos and didnt know they needed it until they watch. Good work man
Wow, thank you! I appreciate the kind words :)
really love how you keep it real in these videos! also how you apply these concepts on yourself!! good luck with your journey!!
I really appreciate your content! Sorry to hear about the difficulty finding employment, but for what little it means, your videos always help me provoke and improve myself. Please keep going, you got this!
these are things i tell myself all the time im just glad to hear someone else say them
This is a video I need to add to my watch later and take notes.
I think learning scripting may be good, but I love the style of your videos where you have a general topic and ramble haha
thanks for the content, i really like this format where we are just having a good talk
I love your off-the-cuff style! I would consider a different video format that would forgo the teleprompter. Jeff Nipard and Renaissance Periodization do a great job using notes in their off-the-cuff content. Moving your camera to different angles can also add visual interest, though I understand your space might not be ideal for that. However, the typical nice space with a desk and a laptop is very appealing for us as viewers. It keeps the talking head while allowing more space for you to express yourself. For example, having notes. I've loved moving my camera around my desk when I'm bored as well!
I think some notes or footnotes could be helpful, but going exclusively scripted might lose some of the awesome content you create. A mix of scripted and unscripted videos could be great. If a video is fully scripted and refined, the visuals should serve as an example of that. I often find myself watching B-roll just wanting to see some examples of the discussed topics in use. However, that is simply my preference, and I'm sure others may not need the visuals as much when learning!
Honestly I really needed this video! Thank you for all the awesome content
This video is very inspiring! I started pretty late with taking FPS games seriously. And I have a very hard time to net get stuck in the middle ranks in pretty much any FPS. Since I started late, I was very focused on mechanics, since it was the obvious department where I had to catch up. So, I did become a quite competent aimer. I managed to climb to 19k rating in cs2 but am stuck on faceit level 3-5. On leetify I got an aim score of over 80, which even my level 8+ friends cannot reach, while my utility score stays low.
I know, that I should play Soloq but am always relying on a stack of friends, I know that I should do vod reviews, I know that I should look at pro vods and watch how they play the positions I am playing, I'm just not doing it. And everytime I die in-game, especially if I didn't get outrotated I immediately think "oh, if my aim was better, I would've won that fight and could carry the game". I haven't found the emotional answer yet to why I keep doing what I am doing....
It might be hard to get to the source of it, as you mentioned it might take some time to figure out--it's awesome you are aware though, that's the most important part. Now you can make a more conscious choice as to whether you tackle this or decide to make peace with it and accept that you're okay with doing things in the way that's currently comfortable, even if the results leave something to be desired.
In the mean time, whilst you are figuring it out, you can think about how to take the emotion and resistance out of the process. There's a way to negotiate with yourself where you can get started with that new behaviour. It could be just setting a quota for the vod review sessions, it could be just watching one pro you like on one map and make 3 notes of things you like & want to copy...you could really slice this up and approach it in a million ways. Either way, now that you're aware of this, you'll be forced to either confront it or ignore it. Either thing is fine, so long as the reason is honest! Again, I offer all this advice as an offender as well. I really think this is a battle we all have as humans in one way or another.
@@ddkesports Thank you very much for this very valuable advice! I love watching your videos for exactly these kinds of topics.
You got this DDK ! And I'm looking forward to hearing you cast some CS again :)
For me, I got a new job learning how to sell HP laptops and PCs. Ended up learning alot about microsoft copilot, just a chat gpt really. But its funny. I simply ask "What should I go about doing to be an fps player's aim coach as a career?" And I get a list of steps. At first, it included content creation and I'm like ehhh not really big on social/community interaction I just wanna coach. It let me know that's plenty possible, but takes more networking and case studies of players to show later down the line. I dunno I think this chat gpt thing is cool cause it gets rid of the excuses my mind might come up with, thinking it through
Know what? You are absolutely fucking right, from now on back to VOD dungeon.
😂
Half commenting to tell you great and video and half commenting so my boi can get that bag from the algorithms. Can you give us an example process?
appreciate this video, wish for u to find more great success
Great video!
Commenting re: subtitles because i mentioned how helpful they were last time
I found the "pop-in" effect on the subtitles in this video made it quite a lot more difficult to read
Could just be me though
Thanks for the feedback!
After finishing the video:
This type of content feels quite unique, delving deep into the mental aspects surrounding esports, and how you can apply the same understanding in other aspects of your life
Really appreciate your channel
great review flashes player
First. Greetings from Australia.
Lookin hot in beard 💯
alright dude whatever your little youtube video was successful; ill do it. now may i ask why this had to be a personal attack?
felt like this shit was directly focused at me hahaha the phrasing, the examples, why am i being bullied LMFAO
hahaha
just do it bro
fax
" a fully scripted video... I've never done this " We know DDK ... we know =)
LOL
get a thumbnail artist?
the 3 word subtitles are incredibly distracting
Appreciate the feedback. Is it the "pop-in" effect or would you prefer just no subtitles?
Imo pop in is fine but maybe 6-7 words at a time for longer on screen might be more easy to process @@ddkesports
@@ddkesportsAmazing channel btw thank you for your work man
@@ddkesports Not sure about the pop-in, but definitely would prefer more words on the screen. Looks like maybe you're trying to make it easier to clip for vertical videos, but the long form video suffers for it. It also overlaps the auto generated closed captions which I find easier to read. Always love your content and competitive philosophy though, I've been watching since early QL days. Keep on the grind.
