Want to win more games faster? Learn this

Welcome. Or welcome back, I guess. For those of you interested, I'm planning a few more USCF-rated tournaments before the year is out. If they go well, I might go into the (New York) City to play at the Marshall Chess Club for a fide rating.
In other news, I have analyzed thousands of positions with varying time on the clock, in various scrambles and tactical slugfests. Allow me to share with you the insights I have gathered. Some of these may or may not be applicable to you, depending on your skillset.

Allow me to make a sports reference. If you've ever watched a top athlete play, 90% of the time, they don't seem to be putting much thought into what they are doing? Why- back on that later. The problem with chess is that it's a sport but nobody that I've seen treats it like a sport. Your fighting spirit changes move by move, game by game, results driven, mostly.
For example, The New York Yankees (a Major League Baseball team) have a player named Aaron Judge. He covers the area in the outfield of the stadium, the area between right and left field. Aaron Judge is an athlete, and he makes almost every defensive play look effortless. Why? 2 things: he has years of experience, and he has situational awareness. Now, not all of us have years of chess experience, but if you're competitive, and you care about your rating, you want to win more often than you lose. Check the last ten games that you lost, and see how many you either 1) gave up/let time run out, 2) resigned with time on the clock or 3) stopped playing your game and gave up psychologically. The answer will surprise you. Now check the last hundred. The odds are, if you had ignored the scoreboard and fought on until checkmate or an unwinnable position, you would salvage (win or draw) half of these games.

The better you get at creating counterplay, the better you get at stopping it. Just practice playing worse or uncomfortable positions more, and you'll salvage more games. This works both when you are winning (so you win more often) and when you're losing (so you lose less often). Wins feel twice as good when pulled from the jaws of defeat.
Edit: You should never resign when there is play left in the position, when you can save the game on time, or when there is counterplay to create.
I'll create a forum post for this, let me know your thoughts
