Keeping focus is the ultimate goal of mental training in Halo. A player who has dealt with their demons will purge their mind of everything but the game at hand. Strengthening one’s mental approach to the game will result in only thinking about what matters. Angry thoughts, criticisms of teammates and anything else that has no positive impact on winning won’t even come to mind. A player who focuses on the game for the entire duration of that game is a complete player. Look back on your own play from day to day: how often do you veer off course mentally? Perhaps by not remembering a power-up or by yelling at a teammate? Whatever steers you off course must be mastered in order to become a strong player. To make it to the top level of competitive gaming you must have the mental strength to stay 100% focused.
