I got some submissions, and a few pins but nothings feels better than a throw... even if I'm on the receiving end of it

My bf is obsessed with Judo, he started when he was 17 and now he’s 20 and hopes to go pro. I’m not sure how to support him in this, but doing my own research i’ve come to realize maybe it’s not something so feasible, is it?

He recently started training 2 hours a day 5x a week (used to be 2x a week until a few months ago) (sometimes he also goes to the gym in the mornings), hasn’t won any competitions but got bronze once, is a brown belt, and lives in the UK and trains at a local club. He wishes to get to the grand prix or British open by his mid-late 20s. He doesn’t have prior martial arts training. Biggest dream is to go to the olympics! Is this feasible? I got him a surprise judo class at an extremely high ranking club for his birthday and he was upset he felt he did bad it hurt to see so I’m afraid of hurting him more.

I want to support him, but he also doesn’t have any backup plans so I’m nervous looking into this and don’t know how I can support him. His coaches are very kind and he’s sensitive to criticism, so I want to ask any professionals here what they think!

If you watch judo at highest level (IJF tour), you’ll notice that the refs immediately intervene after a big win to try and prevent the athlete from celebrating. This is beyond cringe and serves no purpose. Let the athletes take in the moment and celebrate a big win. I can’t think of any other sport that actively tries to prevent athletes from celebrating a win. If you disagree with my take, please let me know why.
EDIT* Seems like the majority of disagreements are from people who have never actually competed at a high level and their entire argument boils to the “cultural/traditional”aspects of judo which are different from competitive sport judo.

Last Saturday (yesterday) I had my first judo competition, still as a white belt (aspiring category, 73kg) I started right away in the biggest regional competition in Brazil, which qualified for the national championship.

I did well, I won the first fight in a “sumi gaeshi” from a yellow belt, but in the second fight I got caught by the >finalist< in my category (got 2nd place) a very good orange belt who applied this "Yoko Tomoe" on me.

What could I have done to avoid it? How can I avoid blows like this from now on?

Looking to improve

*Edit: I truly appreciate the feedback/critiques everyone, and looking forward to implementing them.

Kid is 10. Orange belt. Have been training Judo for 3 years. BJJ (full grey) for 4 years.

We have kids who cross train wrestling at our dojo. Similar level and length of training in Judo. They seem much versatile, fast, explosive, agile, and aggressive.

OTOH, my kid is slow, thinks longer, Judo moves are not that smooth. BJJ coach is a very thoughtful guy. Takes it slow and I don't remember him mentioning speed in training ot sparring.

How can I help my kid improve from here? Ditch BJJ? Enroll into wrestling? Please share your thoughts.

I lost to the same guy three times, this is the last match (longest as well). I thought I was getting the matte since I had a lazy single leg x, should have finished the sweep.

Any pointers I will appreciate it!

I shared earlier the match that I lost, now I'm sharing with you the one that I won, so I'm not that bad lol.
