I can't :/

I just want to know how much a suck compared to you guys... or whether it's normal to suck at this.

Right now, I tend to drop one gear before I start my heavy braking, then do my braking and then down shift some more after the braking (until the revs are where I want them), then take the corner (or deal with whatever it is that causes me to brake so hard).
