How to be your self-coach and improve mentality

[dave_hun]

This is my longest work so far. I talk about methods that help you see faster improvement , including various generic skills as well as own mentality for the games. Hope some people can find it helpful.

excellent video. you cover a lot of stuff that one might overlook at first glance. Plus your way of speaking (tone and voice cadence ) make super easy to follow you. all in all, great work

I think this video doesnt just apply to RTS games. It applies to literally every part of life. Get the most refined and neutral perspective on yourself. Know your strenghts and weaknesses. Develop accordingly.
For all the new players out there I would add that we all were trash at one point. If you want to be really good you have to invest a lot of time.
Also enjoy what you are doing and if you dont then think about the reason for that.
I for example realised that I dont want to be good at this game. I want to be the best player to never set up any micro hotkey except patrol 11

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I appreciate it.

If there is anything I should improve on with the quality, I'd like to hear those opinions too. I do plan on making more such videos, and it's best to make it easily digestable.

Was 15 minutes in length a bit too much, or could I have expanded some of my points even further? I don't want to ramble for too long, but not at the cost of leaving out important points.

You can include some light background music. I think it helps the overall quality of the videos and makes them more consumable.

Maybe you could do shorter videos, explaining fewer points. I didn't felt it was too long of a video, to be honest, but it was lots on info

I am not a big fan of that, not just because of copyright issues, but it's difficult to find a track everyone will enjoy.

Yeah, that's a good point. I was thinking to maybe break it into multiple videos because there were still some explanations I left out. Will probably make the future videos shorter and with a more specific theme.

Fair enough, do whatever you think is best. But there is lots of Royalty Free Music out there. Here's a YT channel:

I mean, being a 2k player, you surely have a lot to explain, ergo, your videos gonna be long. I think best you can do is focus each video in a different thing (plus, there's a lot of POV tutorials, but not that many of "theorical explanations"

Just to throw in another voice, I hate royalty free music. It always sounds like elevator music background noise and isn't pleasing. Even in AoE2 streams, I would much prefer a pretty good AoE2 soundtrack to a mediocre royalty-free soundtrack.
