Meaning of 気持ちの持ち方まで問題にしている


I'm having trouble determining the meaning and nuance of this sentence. Can
you help me out?

> [技術]{ぎじゅつ}といっても、上手か下手かだけではなく、その技術を使う人の気持ちの持ち方まで[問題]{もんだい}にしているのです。

I think the closest I've been able to get so far is…

> Even though one may call it a "skill," it's not so much whether one is good
> or bad at it, but… (how feelings of those who practice the skill are held?)




Here is my crack at it:

> Although one may call it a "skill", it's not only a matter of how well you
> do it, but also the "way of thinking" of a person who uses that skill that
> is very important.

Lets dissect `気持ちの持ち方まで問題にしているのです。`

The 気持ちの持ち方 could probably translated as "way of thinking" or "attitude" as
Matt N points out. But, basically it means your feelings or disposition with
regard to something.

The 問題にしている doesn't mean "problem" in the English sense here. You could
literally think of it as saying "make it an issue". In other words, it is
something that is important is what they are saying.

**EDIT**

Here is a re-translation after understanding more about what this is about:

> Although I said winning or losing depends on your skill level, it's not just
> whether you are good or bad at it, but your mindset when you play Pachinko
> is also very important.

I based the above sentence on the following passage:

>
> ある人が「パチンコは単なる暇つぶしじゃありません。勝ち負けは自分の腕ひとつだと思うから一生懸命になるのです」と言って、こんな話をしてくれました。「腕ひとつとい‌​っても、技術的に上手か下手かだけでわなく、気持ちの持ち方までも問題にしているのです。高い技術を身に付けようとして、悩み、苦しみながら精神的にも成長していく。そうし‌​て身に付けた技術が心と一つになったとき、パチンコに勝てるのです」。
