What movement were you really bad at and how did you improve?
Take downs. I was not a great wrestler and found it awkward when attempting single and double leg takedowns. Working with a Wrestling coach and improving my ability to change levels (staggered squat) really made the difference when achieving takedown success.
What would you recommend to jiu jitsu athletes to improve performance and prevent injuries
I recommend a good strength and conditioning program. This is something that will make the difference of winning or losing if you have an opponent with the same skill as you. It also has the side benefit in preventing injuries by stabilizing your joints.
