It does sound like a mindset thing. Some BJJ´ers go through a stage where they get blasé about things and don´t commit to everything 100%. It´s not a bad thing, if I went 100% all of the time I´d be getting injured, or injuring others. But that needs to change when you compete - every technique needs to given everything, with a mindset that it totally commital. I´m not talking being aggressive by using strength instead of technique, more driving the fight the way you want it, and not letting the opponent initiate the moves.
Also, it could be related to nerves. Apart from relaxation techniques, the best way to combat nerves is to compete regularly so it´s not such a big deal.
Good luck...
