One of those other moments....same idea as Derek here....make certain your wings are not rolled toward you when exiting a box end manuever. Such as exiting a stall turn at the end of the box. Some pilots (me[:@]) have a tendency to want to see the entire span of the wing when the plane is on the downline and ready to exit the manuever. This results in an exit that ends up pointing the nose of plane toward you (coming in).
You are lucky to have Chris M. helping you out.

Derek andMark hit the nail on the head. Wings level is fundamental #1. A good rule is to pick a baseline where you must see the bottom of the outboard wing to be level. However, wings level on a downline and exit radius, setting up for the next maneuver without the need for corrections, is HUGEagrea of skill growth. If you can do this consistently, you are on the fast track!!
For theadvanced pilot - the key Derek also stated is to "stop" using rudder. How doyou do this? Learn better what"wings-level" looks like in all facets of the maneuvers: top of box, uplines, downlines,over the top of maneuvers, and inverted.Learn tofly the ailerons better...
Thanks,
