In chess, the player who rushes the attack often leaves their own king wide open. Hurry has blind spots.

Aggression narrows your attention to whatever you are attacking. While you push forward, the parts of your own position you are not looking at go unguarded, and the loss usually arrives from there rather than from the fight you were having. Hurry does not make you braver. It makes you smaller in what you can see.
