Throwing a fit after a tough loss doesn't mean you care more than others, it means your emotional regulation abilities suck.
Learning how to lose, to experience and accept the barrage of negative emotions, and doubts and insecurities that come with them is a skill. Develop it.

Ways to gamify practice.
1) Create performance-level, game-like conditions in practice.
2) Compete! Keep score. Time things. Measure stuff. Record-Rank-Publish. (Poker played without money ain’t poker.)
3) Promote an atmosphere of cut-throat playfulness.
