This is very common in shots - either your cousin has a great sprawl, or you're not performing several key points when you shoot (I'm assuming you're going for a double leg tackle or a double leg wrestling tackle or wrestling single leg, i.e. NOT a single leg takedown where you change your level and hit below the knee):
1. Keep your head up and DRIVE - if it's the double leg tackle, make sure your hands / arms are chopping behind his ankles and hit him like a truck, keeping your head to the outside of his jab side - I'm sure you know the mechanics of it . . .
2. DRIVE - if he sprawled and you can feel him going for the guillotine, driving should keep him off balance (make sure you have your hands behind his ankles) - if for some reason you still can't get him down, switch your knees and try to do an outside single wrestling, or put your head to the inside and go for a low single wrestling - just make sure you keep hitting your transitions - it takes a "feel" which you'll develop with more rolling and wrestling as well.
3. Go to your BJJ class and work on your shots. It's much easier to see all what I've written put into action rather than learn from words.
