for problem solving : it’s purely math, math and math (Number theory mostly)  
for data structures : just learn it’s concept and try to understand it likewise just imagine it and then it back and code it (by seeing the source code or without)  
and when it comes to problem solving competition : problem solving skills + data structures is needed  
Finally you got to keep doing this , you can also participate in competitions  
😃 🙂

I agree with working through math to help with your problem solving. Honestly any kind of logic game can help, crossword puzzles, sudoku and even a rubix cube.

For an overall better understanding of problem solving, I would suggest reading the book “A Mind for Numbers” or better yet take the companion course to it on Coursera. They are researched back and it gives you so many tools to help with developing a structure to your problem solving technique and memory overall. The book and course really opened my thinking processes up.
