First train so your cross is under 8 moves every time! I would recommend looking at non x cross examples from top cubers. Being dual neutral is also really helpful for this and I recommend starting as soon as possible, color neutrality is completely optional and depends on your solving style later in cubing. Dual = better inspection. Color neutral = better cross. Also attempt to solve cross blind as that helps. You can slowly build that up with harder and harder scrambles. On easy crosses even try doing x crosses or 1st pair predictions 👍
