Or maybe he does it with every District 12 Tribute, we may never know. He pushes them harder to earn sponsors, to behave in ways that draw their attention, and to otherwise do everything they can to make it through the Games.
He knows how to do this because he's played the game for years. Appearance is everything in this world, and being memorable is often more important than being tough. Look, for example, at the advice he gives Katniss on impressing the judges:. Then later, when Peeta confesses his love for Katniss on live TV, Haymitch jumps on it even though Katniss doesn't like the idea at all.
He's actually talking about power here. Katniss and Peeta are victims of this system: sent off against their will to battle to the death against Captain Steroids and the other killbots from Districts 1 and 2. As such, there's not a lot they can do about their situation. But if they can stand out on television, they become celebrities, and fame can get them the things they need. No one knows how to play this game better than Haymitch, and he works overtime at it. It's a sick game, but he can play it with the best of them.
As a result, Katniss gets some goodies that end up saving her life. While Haymitch may be an unbelievable pain in the butt, he's also perhaps their biggest ally in the Capitol.

It's a bit surprising that Woody Harrelson would have to be convinced to do these high profile projects, especially considering how beloved the characters are.
Given the iconography of both The Hunger Games and Star Wars , the films were basically guaranteed to be a financial success. The role of Haymitch is perhaps the fourth largest character in the entire Hunger Games franchise, after the three leads involved in the love triangle.
And although Woody Harrelson likely isn't a big fan of young adult novels, one would assume that Haymitch's appeal was on the page of the first film's script. While originally appearing to be just a drunken a-hole, Haymitch soon proves himself as the most capable mentor in The Games.
And while some of the other supporting characters were killed off in the process of the following three films, Haymitch's part just became more important. Regardless, I'm glad that Woody Harrelson was convinced to do both projects. While details regarding the still untitled Han Solo standalone film are few and far between, I'm eager to see the actor step into a galaxy far, far away- especially in such an impressive cast.
