    Calm aiming immediately helped in cleaning up my aim. If you have really good aim but feel inconsistent this is probably the problem. Practicing visualizing and planning without worrying about dying in comp is a game changer. Good to start with a deathmatch and practice confidently doing Jiggling, shuffles, and full swings.

    Very calm indeed, you can say that its just overthinking for, probably, the most of us, and the only way to heighten your aim is to master your mind to maintain consistency. Nothing beats having a level of mechanical skill where you just shoot, it really becomes satisfying, its feels like you're in the zone. Without being in the zone. But that probably means you are in that zone.

    If you want to practice your aim, firstly try to practice being calm. I realized this since when I am having a bad mood,like losing the game, my aim is completely trash.But when I have good mood, my aim is at another level. So when you are losing, dont play more, just take a rest and do it again later.
