- What's up, guys! I made this video to throw a tool at you that's been really helpful for me in the past in competition, especially when the pressure is on. Staying focused is everything, and if we have a reframing tool that can take a negative stimulus and turn it into more focus it is invaluable!

babe wake up Daniel Kapadia dropped a new video
My biggest mental block is that I know I can play at a certain level and when I don’t play at that level I snowball and play worse because I get in my head
Have addressed this one before in a previous video. I might collect a few comments like this and respond. See the ABC game video that's on the channel from a while ago, which should help with this. I'm planning to do more content on it, though, to help!
Same. This effect is felt even more when I play with others and I feel like i'm letting them down
Hey please do not stop with these videos, each and every piece of content you make is super duper helpful, as someone who is "trying to climb". Amazing stuff!
one of the biggest steps Ive found you can take is being able to reframe your failures during practice. Letting yourself die practicing is invaluable a developing your understanding of in game elements.
Thanks for bringing up the mental aspect. Honestly, I was struggling with rank anxiety in Valorant, but I'm slowly coming out of it. Videos like these definitely help 🙌
Awesome! I'm glad to hear it. Did you listen to my video that's about ranked anxiety, specifically? I'd be interested to know if that one helped at all.
@@ddkesports Absolutely! It was all I needed to hear
@@ddkesportsI don’t remember how I overcome my anxiety but I’ve come to not give a shit so much that I lost my anxiety but the game became a bit boring and then I had to work on motivation to make it more fun again. It makes me think if I’ve never really been motivated in the first place or motivated for the wrong reason like fear of not being good at something even if I don’t care for it. Love you ddk since cs commentary days ❤
@StayPuft787 Yeah, it definitely can call everything into question! When I was a really young player, I went through something similar to this. I had huge issues with tilt and responded by forcing myself to not care as it was the only way I could figure out to deal with it at the time (I was 15, I believe). After a few months of this, I realized it was holding me back, and my progress stalled out, so I needed to find other ways to manage it. Caring is really important as it fuels the desire to get better-- we have to connect with the right things and learn ways to manage the difficult aspects. I wanted to be the best, and I recognized that to do that, you have to care immensely. I discovered the reason I was tilting was because I didn't know how to approach the problems in my game and that frustration wasn't getting the right response. Bit of anecdotal experience, but I know some of what you're experiencing, I think. Another great topic to discuss more I think in a video. Thank you!
@@GaurangPlays awesomeee
Quality content in a short period of time. Keep it up.
bro u are reading my mind ive been struggling with mental a lot recently and its holding me back so much
What are you struggling with the most with your mental game?
@@ddkesports I get stuck in my own head a lot, I'm way too hard on myself after even a small mistake and i get demotivated really easily
and i compare myself to others too much
@@framelessly your not alone man
Thank you so much for that Jocko Willink video, its such an amazing motivational tool and I will definitely be watching routinely to remind myself of this idea that when its hard, its 'good'
I love these! It has helped me a lot! Keep em coming
Nice. I feel like this is also part of getting into your flow state. If you are mentally looking forward to the challenge, you can zone in better on whats important. Good tips! : )
Probably a boring video but you could do one on dealing with games that have some problems from servers, or bugs. Like in Quake champions. When you're 'flowing' and the servers start jittering, sounds missing, farrr around corner shots etc realllly throws me off : D Yet top pros deal with it some how and can act like its not happening. I guess you channel the love of the parts you love when its running perfect?
This channel is pretty good
Competitive mindset and your tips should be taught in school
Hi Daniel, so I've been having issues maintaining my calm, I am immortal 1 almost 2 on valorant but every time something like my teammates not comming, being rude for no reason or i make a couple missplayes sometimes one is enough depending on the gravity of the situation or how bad it was I get incredibly tilted I get mad at myself to an extent that is extreme sometimes. I have tried multiple methods I even talked about it to my therapist but after a while it always comes back I know its not my fault people are not perfect and don't want to work with me and i need to accept it I know all this but it doesn't change that when those types of situations happen i kinda blame myself and then become angry. I always feel that if i have bad teammates i have to be able to carry by my own skill and be able to still com and make plans and all types of things but all i know is the moment it happens my brain dies i see red for the rest of the game.
thankyou for sharing your knowledge.
I spent 300h aim training in kvks and other. Recently ranked up to VT Master. The moments when I miss in games affect my mental harder as I specifically trained prior to that moment so much. Also, thinking I am better and peeking everyone and consequently dying in disadvantageous situations makes it worse. The loop is inescapable
I hear you! I have a helpful take on this one that I've found useful. Might be its own video or be a part of a bigger one. Thank you for the comment!!
The loop is definitely escapable, just separate aiming from the tactical play, they are different things. You can split your practice, one day only do aim and only care about aim and nothing else. The next day only care about strategy, record your vods and analyze every single strategical decision made. Hell, play shotgun only, read your opponents, predict their plays. Only worry about that, those days, aim doesn't matter. When you have enough experience in both, then put them together. If you ignore strategy completely you will always get shit on by random unpredictable crap cause no one's aim is perfect, just look at Dasnerth if you play Valorant, rank #1 shotgun only shitting on pros frequently.
If you ignore your strategical play and try to outplay everyone with aim cause it's your pride of course you will be frustrated. It's like those boxers who have good chin and power and think they can just walk through everyone, until they meet a slick boxer who they can't touch. Mechanics are only half of it.
David goggins also good in this theory
Thanks for what you do dan
My pleasure!
such dreamy eyes
I think what keeps me from improving is, that for me, VOD-reviewing is kinda pointless, because i cant really say, what i did wrong, because im not that good at the game, to say, what i did wrong. And i think, that VOD-Reviewing my games would help me improving a lot.
Watching pros can be helpful in this case, as you can identify, by contrast, how they play spots vs you. Ask yourself questions constantly about why they are doing anything and everything. A pro will have refined decision making on basically all decisions and there will be logic that, once you understand, you can apply to yourself. This will help you to better analyze yourself over time. One thing though, sometimes pros will have information or be using advanced theory to decide what to do, so don't worry too much if the answers aren't obvious, sometimes you just don't understand enough yet. This will change over time as you build your theory.
Thanks mate

Amazing video
Good.
I have a question, how do I get in the habit or practicing or streaming? I'm procrastinating, I want a overlay or this and that and never get around to streaming!
I can answer this in an upcoming video along with some other questions, but I definitely have some answers that could help. I've been there too on more than one occasion.
You have any advice for overthinking your aim? When I zone out my aim is absolutely insane. But 99% of the time I just overthink my aim to the point where I can't hit someone standing still facing the other way
How do I play around teammates that no comm and do their own thing? Most infuriating thing in such a team-based game to queue the mode where you're supposed to try your best to win and get people who stay silent the entire game and only turn on their mics to flame. Literally a waste of thirty minutes when I'm trying to get quality VODs to review.
I appreciate the struggle of this, I've experienced it too. I definitely have some thoughts on this that may be helpful; expect it to be a video in the future. Thanks for the comment!
Emotional intelligence aside, one of my biggest problems is adaptation, due to low confidence in my mechanical skill even after spending over 1500hrs honing them, I became a Controller/Sentinel main so in case I bot frag no one is gonna give me shit for it but this came at a cost, a cost of not being able to play any other character outside those roles, specially duelist, I have over 400 hours on Omen, 200 on Viper, 200 on Chamber and about the same for other characters of the same roles. My problem is that it seems like the moment I play Jett, Raze or any duelist really, my game sense, aim and overall game IQ drops by 50 points and I just can't understand why I dash into site and get smacked while copying the exact same thing other Jett main players do and works for them.
Wtf is causing this? I know it takes time to master a character but of all characters I play this makes no sense, whenever I play something that's not a duelist, I cook, but whenever I play a duelist I get shit on to the point it's making me just wanna give up trying, I mean I can confidently go 30-9 on Chamber and then go 9-19 on Jett. Wtf?
Peak radiant now immortal 3 I feel like I don't deserve my rank 90% of the time tbh.
hey, peak asc3 current D3 here so def below your level of competition, but I struggle with a similar problem and see it a lot even in competitive team settings I play in. I think it's due to two things: expectations you have about the role and locking on to thought patterns while playing it. We all associate duelist with frags, it's kinda built into the community at this point; so it might be the added weight you place on yourself to purely frag when playing that role (and it starts in agent select--next few times you lock duelist, try to analyze your feelings in the minute after, most likely you'll feel a little tingle of anticipation that you don't get when playing your comfort agents). As for the second point, try not to copy others--develop your own unique style on the duelists, there's no cookie cutter way to play them, especially if traditional ways of playing them don't seem to work for you. I think you have a preconceived notion of what it means to "be a duelist" and patterns to do in game--try to step out and analyze what you're doing instead of blindly trusting it. Last thing--I struggle with performance anxiety a lot and something that's helped me is beginning each session and each game (as well as midgame) with gratitude... it kinda connects with the GOOD mindset but recognize that being able to compete and play the game in general is a privilege. Step outside of the game for a second, contextualize, and then go back in with a calmer mind. Hope this helps, good luck my friend, it'll take time to overcome but just like DDK says you have to embrace your individual challenges and attack them :)
I struggle to feel like I can improve. Like I feel like I'm just missing something that the better players have & I can't like attain it. It's mainly related to crosshair placement/pre-aim for now.
I am always incorrectly visualizing headlevel. Like it'll be the same angle that I've held/peek a million times but I'll still fuck it up. I don't know how immo+ players are able to be SO precise and accurate with their crosshair placement and it doesn't even look like they're trying.
I've been aim training regularly for a while. I do 8-10 dms per day full focused on it. It just feels impossible to be that precise.
And my sens isn't absurdly high either.
I'll get teammates in my games that just barely play, never play dm or train or even think about it, they'll just hop on sometimes and they're instinctively just better at it in a way that I don't understand how to achieve. It feels like they're able to visualize it so clearly but I just can't.
Idk. like I still play regardless and I do have my moments where I'll get a nice clean crosshair placement kill. But its not at all consistent enough.
I feel like its impossible to get to the level of precision and speed that higher level players effortlessly execute without 10 million hours.
In comparision, getting better at my raze satchel mechanics felt pretty smooth. I was bad, I practiced a lot, reviewed better players, reviewed myself and now I'm at the point where satcheling is pretty instinctive and accurate and I can move around the way that I want to in my head without struggling at all with the execution.
So it's not that I'm unable to learn. It's just aiming that feels impossible. How are these players pixel perfect accurate so consistently? It just seems impossible to achieve
Do you mean your click timing will be off and you'll miss your first bullet as they swing into the angle you're holding? Or do you mean that your accuracy is inconsistent when flicking between angles of focus for xhair placement? Like you need to adjust your preaim more than you like, etc?
I think my biggest problen is i cant vod review myself because i dont have a graphics card and my laptop drops so many frames when im recording what would you reccomend?
do you do coaching?
Just today, I asked in my discord if people would be interested in coaching from me. I'm considering it, but I need to know a little more about what people are looking for if they come to me for coaching as I figure out what the best way to do it would be! What would you be looking for help with?
@@ddkesports i am an immortal 2 duelist player trying to really perfect my game so i can become a tier 2 caliber player. Most coaches do ranked coaching only, and since you are an analyst I thought maybe you could help with my scrim gameplay.
Sorry I got lost in ur eyes, what were u saying again?
