The journey for inner-mechanics begins with steady hands.

Hold your hands up in front of your eyes. Hold them their perfectly still for thirty seconds. Notice any movement, shakes, or spasms.

A common problem for many new and experienced players is making miss-clicks and/or unnecessary clicking. Unnecessary clicking or button mashing is a waste of energy and may even lead to carpal tunnel.

They could be nervous for many reasons, i.e. they are putting too much importance on the outcome of the game (meaning they want to win more than they want to play skillfully), caffeine is overloading their body making them tweak, and/or perhaps they are dehydrated.
