People who win a lot usually lose a lot too. They just keep signing up.

Win rates are roughly the same for everybody. What differs is how many times you enter, so a person with a shelf of results is also carrying a much longer list of attempts that went nowhere, and you never see that list because nobody posts it. Their record looks like a talent gap when a good deal of it is a volume gap. Staying in the pool is the unglamorous mechanism underneath most of it.

Count your entries rather than your wins for a few months. If the number is low, the fix is not to get better first, it is to sign up again sooner.
