Early ChallengeElitism - thinking he was better than other players.
Doug had to learn how to respect his opponent's and even lost a few friends before this lesson sunk in.
Proudest Magic MomentBeing there for Alexander Hayne when he won his Pro Tour.
Biggest Mistake Players MakeNot enough players analyze the mistakes they made in games they won.
By doing this you don't have the negative emotions associated with a loss.
This helps you decompress wins in a healthy way.
Improvement SuggestionsSome players "get it" and others need to "find it" and grind. Where ever you fall in the Magic spectrum you can achieve your goals.
Healthy body, healthy mind. Hydration is important.
