#005: Karrigan - In Game Leader of Mousesports Jan 14, 2020

Show notes

Karrigan is one of the most prolific leaders of our time. What he's been able to achieve puts him in a class of his own entirely in CS:GO history. Building multiple teams to the levels of success, especially considering that they have been international, that he has achieved, is nothing short of remarkable. In this interview we talk about this journey, TSM, Faze and mousesports. I also try to gain some insight into how Karrigan prepares for teams and what it's like to lead at the very top level.

31. ddk talks esports - The Champions Mindset Aug 06, 2019

Show notes

In this podcast I talk about the "champions mindset"; a term that I use to encapsulate a few different behaviours that are beneficial in creating a robust foundation to becoming a better player. I go over how we identify issues / change behaviour, outcome orientedness, emotional relationship to the game, adversity, framing and consistency.

I hope you enjoy!

30. ddk talks esports - changing your settings Jul 28, 2019

Show notes

In the return of the podcast I begin by exploring the common dilemma that we all go through as competitive FPS players. I talk about how we come upon the realisation that perhaps we need a change, and then how to self-diagnose our mechanics to figure out which direction to take when altering sensitivities and grips.
