Most of it is great advice but I wonder how much actually applies to simple video game play. I mean if you want to get better at a video game, you train that game a lot, no other way. If you want to perform the best, ya sleep, eat good, don't feel like crap is also good but at the same time from experience I haven't observed a correlation of my performance if I eat bad or smoke. So i'd say that type of subject is pretty ambiguous and only applies per individual basis. You know.. what if Im super motivated but still feel horrible.. Ive performed better at times just cuz I had to drive to eliminate the player completely regardless of how I felt.
Id like some thoughts on that.
I'd actually like to revisit this post.
What I said earlier, about mindset being a huge factor in play, still stands.
But what I want to put across is that if one is used to eating bad (at least part of the time) there won't be any drop in physical ability because that bad eating is a (part of the) foundation of your health.
Creating a healthy diet or fitness routine will gradually increase this foundation, and because it's gradual you won't be able to observe from match to match or tournament to tournament the differences in your play.
If what you eat doesn't come to mind when you are playing at a tournament, then more power to you - but the point is that this is not a one time thing where if you eat super healthy at a tournament, when you usually don't, your power will increase dramatically (or if you eat ****ty at a tournament, and you usually do eat ****ty, it'll make you play worse); if anything the biggest difference that'll happen is when someone who is used to eating healthy decides to eat like **** during a tournament.
It's all to create a foundation of health. Hence "Staying Healthy" and "Playing Better and Longer."
Now, imagine performing better due to your drive to eliminate them, regardless of how you felt, but you in fact felt amazing and were as fit as a fiddle?
