General Training Thoughts on my Seoi Nage?

This was at a judo for BJJ type of class but I’ve recently switched over to a Judo gym since I realized I enjoy it much more. I’ve discovered Seoi Nage throws are my favorite but I can’t say they come easy to me. Just wanted to share.

(Ippon, Morote or Kata regardless) Seoi nage is a te waza, meaning you use your arms. My thought on your seoi is: use your arms! Once uke is on your back, pull the sleeve and rotate your upper-body to the left: this creates a void in which uke will fall due to your pulling and not having any anchor points with their legs.
