Key Takeaways
Winning feels good.
Losing teaches patterns.
When you lose, the game tells you:
- where you overcommitted
- what you misread
- which habit failed you
Great players don’t rage‑queue. They review mentally. That’s why improvement feels uncomfortable. Feedback hurts before it helps. Loss is data. Use it.
