I have similar problems, always to earger to please.
Some information that I find helpful is below, although I would welcome everyones comments if I am talking rubbish:
Remember to relax
You need to keep an eye on the opponent and not just the striking area (telegraphs your shot)...
Remember your legs are not attached to your arms and you can move while striking.
Remember to relax
Your limbs should be supple and relaxed right up to the moment of impact, just before you should use as many muscles in your body as possible to tense into the strike. And immediately relax.
Remember to relax
The above will help you in the countering or changing of technique when the opponent throws a spanner in the works (like moving, attacking or just being plain good for example).
Remember to relax
Don't focus on the technique you are trying on your opponent, try to let what you know flow out into the fight...
Remember to relax
Control the fight by moving into positions that the opponent is uncomfortable in (e.g. if they have a weak left side, keep walking to your right and cover your left). It takes about 2-3 secs for visual information to fully process in your head and translate into movement (I'm talking every single detail here, not just what you are focusing on and in fine detail... I have a feeling I'm going to have to backup that statement) so change your position at least this often - don't show a weak point or target without moving it spacially at least this often.
Remember to relax
Watch what is going on and don't be in a rush to counter punch punch slam bang ow owow, speed is not always the factor - just going the shortest route, and speed does not mean energy you can go fast without the need to use every single muscle straining against time and space in a 'Million Dollar Man' stlyee (GGGGGRRrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa.........) if you tense your muscles when you move you can slow yourself down as you are then stiff and heavy.
Remember to relax
I've never done this myself, but I have been told that those speedball things help because its fast but rythmic...
