My only $0.02 on that vid is hand (and maybe seat) position. IMHO, they should be telling you to plant your hands at 9 and 3 on the steering wheel and try to just keep them there unless a tight turn absolutely demands it. Getting this to work out for you may require adjusting your seat position backwards a little to get your knees out of the way of the lower hand, and/or adjusting steering tilt, etc. It's tricky to get the cockpit configured just right sometimes, but it really makes life easier once it's all Just Right.
ETA: Looking back at your previous vids, it seems you had your hands/seat/etc in a better position last time around. Experimenting?

Yea, I had the seat too far forward. About 3 clicks.
Couldn't get comfortable in the seat all day. My left knee was beating off something on the door panel. Have a nice mark on the knee now.
And my a$$ felled wedged in the seat. Just one of those days. The videos are at the end of the sessions. So I slow down and listen to the instructor a little better and have a discussion on the session. It's all about learning.
