1. Learn to not blame configurations or resolutions.
There are professionals who play on every resolution, low sensitivity, high sensitivity - pretty much anything they can get their hands on. A good Counter Strike player is known for consistency. I'd prefer a player who does well in every match, rather than one who is amazing in a few and awful in the others.
2. Consistency
Consistency isn't just about playing on the same settings. Sit comfortably and make sure that you retain your arrangement every time your play. Avoid leaning forward/backward based upon how the game is going. These small aspects can make a big difference in your Counter Strike gameplay.
3. Muscle Memory
I'm surprised by the lack of content on Muscle Memory with respect to Counter Strike or gaming in general. Reflexes are a big part of gaming, and are improved through training your muscles. Let's look at an example to understand this better. If you haven't played basketball in a year and try to shoot - odds are you're going to miss. The more often you shoot, the better you get at it. Why does this happen? Muscle memory. Your body learns how hard and at what angle you should throw to make a basket through repetition. Any task becomes easier if repeated multiple times. In CS 1.6, if you play in the same spot on a certain map, you'll eventually learn how high above the ground you'll need to aim to get a headshot. This knowledge gets embedded in your muscles. If you change your settings/position, you'll disrupt your muscle memory.
