One of the most important things to remember is to stay focused on the process and not the outcome. All you can control is your shooting. For me, if I shoot well with smooth quick actions, good trigger control, visual patience and I work my plan, then I am happy. If I do all that it doesn't matter where I place because I can't control who will be at the match or how they will shoot. On the other side, I have won matches where I wasn't happy because I didn't shoot well. If you stay focused on the process long enough, stuff like competing well and winning start to take care of themselves.
