I feel like I’ve hit a plateau in BJJ and don’t know what I’m doing wrong

I’ve been training BJJ for a while now and I’m starting to wonder if I’ve hit a plateau.

I train 4x a week and also do one private lesson every week. Outside of class, I watch a lot of instructionals (mostly John Danaher, Gordon Ryan, and other high-level coaches) and I genuinely try to implement what I’m learning instead of just
watching for entertainment.

The problem is… I still feel like I suck.

When I roll, I don’t feel like I’m improving much. Sometimes I can see what I should be doing, but I can’t make it happen against resisting opponents. Other times I just feel lost and like everyone is improving faster than. Am I approaching training the wrong way? What helped you break through?

it feels different because not all white belts are doing leg entanglements. I am a white belt that can hang with the blue belts (kinda) but I still feel like im getting smashed.
Any advice would be appreciated.
