Not sure what events you do, but having a seasoned instructor or other driver jump in the car and provide some free coaching is always one of my go-to moves when I’m struggling with something. A lot of people I track with use a Garmin Catalyst which they like. I’m using an AIM Solo 2 (don’t have catalyst money haha).

Consider focusing on consistency first. Do a session where you intentionally brake exactly in the same spot each time and “log” in your head how the car feels. Then next session like 1-2 corner where you brake a little later. “Log” and compare in your head or on paper how it feels. Write it out, keeps the head fresh for the next session to remember things.
