In order to improve in anything, there are some things you needs to focus on and think about.
Don't be discouraged. Improvement is a long process, it may take you 10 minutes or 10 years to master something. Don't expect to be topping the charts anytime soon.
Don't compare yourself to others, only to yourself. It doesn't matter if people are going 30-0 on the scoreboard, it only matters what you are doing. If you were getting 0-15 kills, and you worked on your skills, going 1-14 consistantly should be something to celebrate, as it shows your moving in the right direction.
Set realistic small goals, and work on achieving those goals. Again, don't focus on going 30-0, pick something much more attainable. it does not have to be anything major like a certain number of kills. But setting a goal of hitting one enemy player with all shots fired, even if the enemy doesn't die, even if you still get killed. you at least achieved that goal. You can then build on those small goals and after each milestone is reached, you move on to a new goal.
Learn from your mistakes and set-backs. No one improves on a steady incline. You may plateau, or dip down, as long as you can recognize why you are failing and set a goal to correct that mistake you will learn. If you find yourself running out in the open and you get sniped, set a goal to not run out or at least run in a serpentine pattern.
There is no knowledge that is not power. Learning from your mistakes is great, but it also helps when you know why you failed. For example, knowing the optimal range of all weapons in order to better know how to face them or use them will go along way in helping your improve. Some of this knowledge can be attained by the forums, but book learning is useless without practicing it in a real life setting. Set goals to make better use of the knowledge you have learned.
Never stop improving, even once you reach a level of skill, that shows you are so much better than when you started, you can still regress or get complacent. If you notice you are back sliding, find out why. You may need to spice up your routine, find a new goal, of playstyle to get excited about and repeat the improvement all over again.
