In fact... come to think I am pretty awful at all the mini-games.
If you look at mini-games not as a challange to be overcome, but a game to be played in their own right, then you'll get better at them. The same way you learn what magic and skills are worth using, and when to use X skill with Y character, you'll learn when to use the special shots, and throws and tackles and what passive skills are worth taking. Which players to have on your team and in what position. Blitzball is very deep and well thought out for being just a mini game. If you approach it the same way as you approach the main game, you'll get better.
