Tips on getting comfy again: Get the hell off the street. Semi-snarky, yes, but I mean it. A good trackday working on holding lines and consistent body position would most likely do him some good. I'd say that his body positioning is not so much terrible, but very inconsistent, even considering he doesn't hang off in every corner. His lines are wonky (turning in early, adjusting lines mid-corner for no apparent reason, etc), and he's pushing too hard. Get him to the track, get him to slow down and concentrate on one thing at a time, and the pieces should line back up again. I've seen much, much worse out on the street, but as I said, he's pushing too hard and that will bite him.
