Don’t be the jerk that acts like you’re in a tournament and is always a try-hard. Realize that you are sparring, not rolling competition-style. That does not mean that you should be weak and go easy on your sparring partner. You should be aggressive enough so that if you are in your opponent’s guard, they cannot push/pull you around. Always be aggressive and take the first move at the beginning. After you shake hands attack your opponent and move them either into your guard, into mount or into side control.
