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.

A bit of constructive criticism:
Leave a bit more distance between you two, you want to pull your colleague to you instead of throwing yourself into them.
Focus on keeping your legs strong and stable as not to loose balance while throwing.
Can't quite see where you are gripping with your right hand, that hand should ideally come from below your colleagues arm and to then grip near to the shoulder. If you're not getting it off her jacket (eri seoi nage) I'd say to try and grip a bit lower on the lapel and see how that feels for you.
Overall I think you are doing great, good practice makes perfect and there will always be something to improve. Way to go champ! 👏
