2024 Oklahoma Judo Association State Championship Veterans 100+ kg Match 2

Second match of the day. I've fought this guy before at Harrah on March 20th. I knew from that match he was going to try sacrifice throws to get me down to the mat. My mistake this match was I came out knowing what he was going to try and spent all of my time trying to prevent his attack, instead of worrying about my attacks. When I grip high with my left, he comes underneath and across my shoulder with his right. I overhooked to uchi mata, and moved him just enough to where he stepped off to the side and countered for ippon.
THINGS I DID WELL:
Came out and got my grips right away.
I actually was aware enough to look down at his feet and see which foot he was leading.
I was aware at the edge of the mat thanks to my loss in Plano and didn't just try to bull him out.
THINGS I NEED TO IMPROVE:
A MAJOR THEME FROM THIS WEEKEND IS I NEED SEVERAL BACKWARD ATTACKS LIKE O UCHI, O SOTO ETC.
I "know" them, but knowing them and being confident enough to execute them in a match are different things.
I need to have bigger kuzushi and a bigger pull on the uchi mata.
