Something that helps me is having a clean desk and room while playing. Clutter free desk = clutter free mind. Thank you for your videos!

I love that “the person you talked to the most is yourself. So be kinder to yourself” fuck that shit hit me on a whole new level. I always be so understanding to my teammates when they made mistakes and i always ended up cheering them up, telling them things like “oh it’s ok don’t worry about it” or “you’re doing great man don’t worry we’ll get 1st place next time it’s ok” or “it’s okay we all made mistake you did your best in the given situation” etc. but when it comes to myself i always berated myself or get so mad at myself. As an IGL, i feel like i always have to be on my best self at all time to be able to read the game, give out the plays, help my team as much as I can, but i never be kind to myself. I need to be kind to myself.

[@Lt_Doghouse]

Here's a tip i got from a Quake Pro, It kinda goes with when he said preparation just know that if you've practiced these things and for example if you're in a clutch situation.... Just know that you've 1000% done this before and all you gotta do is let it go and focus and all thoughts should be on the game and every move not the result if you focus too much on the result you're just gunna panic, So focus on how you're moving your crosshair your quick decisions, NEVER THINK about the outcome just focus on you.

[@saksuye]

I've struggled with anxiety and nervousness, so I'll make sure to use these techniques in order to make them a routine for myself whenever I feel this way. Thank you.

[@DankTank374]

This can relate to real life. I am super hard on myself but it makes me push harder in life and it has actually helped me financially.

[@Waday]

I struggle with nervousness and anxiety sometimes and it significantly impacts my peformance in games. I know lack of sleep is part of that and sometimes not having a good meal before I compete causes my enery and focus levels to be really low. Lastly, I have found that doing some sort of workout that involes my hands, forearms, upper arms and shoulders before I game helps get the blood flowing to those muscles and to my brain.

[@someenglishgames]

The third technique works imo. I accidentally played an embarrassing rap song loudly in a quiet train for a couple seconds. The first thought that popped in my head is that some other guy in the train might be a fan of the rapper and it made his day. Had hardly any anxiety about the embarrassment.

[@get_downed_boi6270]

dude, ur voice is like a calming app. was deep breathing to your thankfully calm voice... great leader, and teacher, thank you.

[@deepthinker8392]

Thank you soo much!. incredible. I been having fears / Anxiety every time I play PVP Games. (Escape from torkov) The stress it comes with... Gunshots everywhere, explosions, Footsteps, players who has high reaction times, Hackers who are shooting you through walls. Blood everywhere, Limps blown off, Limping towards the exit point, Bleeding out knowing you don't have bandages to patch your bleeding, always looking over your shoulder, Guns getting jammed and half the time you are un jamming them. (DAYZ) Team Mates that are relying on your call outs, Team mates being Pinged down and if you grab on to the fear and attempt to make an escape without trying to save your friends, they will loose interest in you. Right and wrongs when you are in a verge of death and you see a Bambi who is begging you not to kill them, and now you are also dealing with morality, Knowing if you don't kill them, they will take it as weakness and will attempt to use anything to kill you, or if you kill them that you loose a bit of your soul and be dragged into a darker realm. hours or even days of work you put in knowing it can vanish due to a random conflict. knowing sometimes there is no "Safezones" Or Safe way to log out or combat log... depending on the game you play (Rust) ... if you are being chased by a group of bandits... where can you go? My point is... Playing on PVP With tons of Valuable gear gives me more stress than Being a Bambi with nothing on. or knowing I won't loose anything. I will take your tips and advice and in few weeks i will let you know how it goes.

[@pedrobarbani7244]

I just want to say that I got into your videos because I'm looking to improve my "fps" skills, I fell in love with Quake Champions and I do have really rough times trying to keep calm, to not to tilt and insult myself for errors I make, errors that I'm capable of avoiding only if I stay calm and thinking clearly. I just got mad, feeling that I already reached my limits, not being able to improve beyond that, and that ends up with me dropping map after map. Besides that, I have issues with anxiety and nervousness on a daily basis, outside computer games, it's just what I struggle with everyday. And this advices, this tips, are helping me for real life. From getting the right sitting position to not hurt myself over the years, to stay calm the more I'm being pushed (at Quake, at work, on the street, whatever). Even your voice calms me down, and no, I play all your videos at normal speed. Thanks, man.

[@ronrambokim]

Ty Pedro :)

[@katsudom]

Can you do a video on when to play aggressive and when to play passive? I always seem to die bc I choose the wrong playstyle for a certain situation

[@feralingo]

Gamesense comes with hours and reps

[@sebrian1838]

then do the opposite of what your brain tells u

[@dylanlonewolf6617]

You need to be actively thinking ingame. Think to yourself "Should I push this? Is it worth it?"

[@tubbies7239]

Experience, Wrong playstyle is still an experience (positive or negative). You can always learn from it.

[@bonkchoy5544]

depends on the game

[@mStimpack]

I remember back when i was in hs i felt a lot of anxiety and wasn’t confident at all. At the time i would numb my anxiety with video games,etc. I started lifting weights a lot after i graduated which made me really happy and confident, it felt like my anxiety died. But then covid happened and i would stay at home where i was depressed all day and not eat at all which made me go from 170 to 138. Now that im skinnier than before i guess my body doesn’t function correctly and now that im older it sucks more than hs feeling like this, so for the love of god work out and dont care if you see a guy doing better than you. Just do you and follow your path.

[@teamyordle23]

This really helped me with coping with my anxiety. It's not really competition that makes me nervous but usual day-to-day things like the night before work that makes me nervous. But the slow breaths and the meditation has given me positive results so thank you.

[@twr4555]

Thanks for the help man, sometimes I can't even play matchmaking because i fear letting my team down or someone shouting at me. People say not to worry about that type of stuff but it feels impossible to get over.

[@ronrambokim]

I think this anxiety of yours either stems from being too empathetic, worry about not doing your party, of the fear of being judged. In either case, I don't believe its healthy to let someone elses opinions or thoughts of you affect you negatively

[@iStorm-my5fp]

You do not stutter and we enjoy your videos so put your mind as ease because we support you and love your no vs grounded advice

[@bababoouey9882]

thank you people definitely need this right now need this right now

[@ByzCSGO]

Dude, thank you so so much, I play CSGO and train really hard, my mechanics are starting to feel pretty good but I always seemed to struggle in mm/faceit. I always had a pretty healthy mindset, not caring about rank or stats too much, but still I performed pretty badly. After watching a few of your videos, I was able to enter some matches way more confidently and also a lot calmer, I went from averaging 0.8 HLTV Rating to carrying and having a 2.3 KD. Of course it could have been luck that the enemies were way worse, but I'd like to think I performed decently, at least for my elo, which is MG1 at the moment. I'm gonna keep watching your videos, they really help a lot.

[@ronrambokim]

Great to hear :-)

[@lilboofstah]

Thank you for all that you do brother. The time, effort, energy and genuine love for helping others in the field. So much respect and appreciation. Blessings upon blessings brother

[@ronrambokim]

I appreciate it, thank you 😊

[@iPlayOnSpica]

My issues are definitely frustration and impatience, and they feed on each other. Every time my aim or decision making goes wrong, I get frustrated that I allowed a mistake to happen, and also impatient to fix it (i.e. respawning and rushing right to where I died).

[@PeeGeeThirteen]

Thanks man! Listening to you calmed me down

[@SZVAR82]

Awesome advice... THANK YOU

[@pancake9306]

Thanks a lot for this! As a young teen planning to focus more on mm and faceit, I get nervous about playing games. In game I feel fine, but every time before I play, I get scared and don't want to play.

[@CrimsonShadow28]

I know the video is old, but those advices still apply regardless and i wanted to add 1 important extra to them that is related to good food but people don't think about it or skip it waaay to often : Hydrate people ! have at least 2lt each day, no matter howyou do it~ check with a dietologist or look for the official information on how much water your body needs throughout the day ~ it's generally determined by weight height and the ammount of work your body does . as a gym teacher, i can't stress enough how important a good hydration routine is when it comes to performance , focus and progression ~

[@John-sp9if]

Thanks coach

[@guritamarctiberiu1567]

Ron I gotta ask one thing because I dont think anyone else could help me with it: why am I doing so well in pistol round in all games (Valorant or CS) but feel it much harder to clutch the next rounds? The explanation I gave myself was because pistol round isnt a huge threat most of the times and you can easily overaim 2 or 3 enemies at once while in the other rounds theyll just spray me down if they outnumber me giving me very little time to actually do something. Do you think there is something psychological about it? Do you think I should have a certain mindset in pistol and/or weapon rounds? Any help greatly appreciated, youre a legend, keep it up and please post some more gameplay videos in Valorant so we can benefit from the way you do things and hopefuly learn something new.

[@aeronautisch]

There are some interesting concepts out there that might help fight anxiety. Qi Gong, Feng Shui and ladder anxiety. I’d like to start with Qi Gong and the general practicion of meditation and stretching and the benefits that come with it. Just like in the video I agree that sleep and meditation is important to your body. Even simple stretches in the morning and sitting quietly down and breathing for 10 minutes is already good. Feng Shui is new to me but I would like to think it helps. On a lesser scale I think sinply just cleaning up your room would help your mental state. Clean = good. Third, ladder anxiety. I’ve had this, I used to freak out about ranks and about losing it. At some point I’ve accepted myself and that in the end it’s not a big deal. I don’t have to prove myself to anyone. But that won’t stop me from improving myself. I want to be the best I can, but only so much can be done. And that’s okay. These are just some things because I can go on about them all day. Taking a walk is good for the mind too, I walk my dog for about every day/other day now for about a few weeks after my knee injury which made me gain 10kg in a few months and made me depressed. Routine is important, it keeps you sane. I guess all this goes beyond helping nervousness in CS but I think it’s important for everyone.

I play RoS (its a BR game made by a chinese company called NetEase and its popular here in philippines) and when im the only one left on the team and when enemies are about to rush me, (ofc my heart is racing and i get anxious) i just slow down my breathing or sometimes i even hold my breathe when i get super anxious and then i think of a strategy of how can i wipe out my enemies and then i think of myself about to skydive (even tho i havent tried skydiving, it gives me the thought that its going to feel great once i jump of the plane) and then i think i just jumped of the plane when i kill an enemy and it feels really great and then it kinda like jumpstarts me to get into flow state and then i use the strategy i made to outplay my enemies.

Turn off your phone. Move things away from your table that distract you, warm up a bit before you play. Every time you die, ask yourself why you died so it doesn't happen again. Try notice enemies typical defaults and counter. When they counter your counter, you counter their counter after :)

My biggest problem is that I start shaking whenever I'm under pressure. My whole chest and back area starts going crazy and I can't sit still. I've tried meditating and focusing on my breath but my overall anxiety is really something else. If there's for example a really big ingame tournament, I usually feel very confident when I warmup up and stuff. But the second I get into the first match my body starts shaking and I can't do anything to stop it.. It's so annoying.
