Although I do think you can improve your skill and reach your own glass ceiling simply from playing officials I find this gradually happens in my experience.
What players can dramatically improve in though is vision/positioning IMO. Both for defence and offense. Tons of players/teams are making defensive errors and that is obvious by 2v1s being frequent and defences not holding up. Even when teams get cleansheets, the opppnents usually had a few goal chances from defensive mistakes. Also offensively most ST's miss a lot of midfield blocks that could've created them 2v1's, Catrice is really good at this and that's why he's won the HCL so many times with average skills, along with his decision making in attack.
So yeah I think vision/positioning/decision making (which is 95% of Hax) can be improved quicker than skills, and done by watching recs focusing on 1 player who's really good in your position, and watch them on and off the ball so you see how they position depending on what's happening. See what works well and then put that positioning/decision making into your own game. Lastly, ALWAYS be open minded to the ways others play, if they do something different to you don't assume it must be wrong, see if it works from evidence in the rec then decide, they could know something that you don't.
i agree with the first bit, even if you practice skilling alot you cant be as consistent as other players, especially in 1v1s players like mica are so quick with the ball only a few can do this
