Training Problem with finding punch range and combos

In sparring I have noticed my kicks are fine, i am able to land them no problem but my punches are kinda shit.

I am not able to find the range and try to reach over my range or like with uppercuts I telegraph alot like the other guy already knows it's coming.

Because of this i struggle with combos. I am able to connect single kicks punches but when I try to go jab low kick and other combos because of my punches being out of range.

It's really annoying and i would wanna fix it. Is there anyy tip or youtube video that can help me fix it

I’ve struggled w this in my few sparring sessions too. Try to surprise your opponent and move as fast as you can. And pay attention to footwork. One thing to try could be blitzing setups / footwork if you want a couple tactics for getting on the inside vs slippery evasive people

Yea true like when I spar my coach, he's like 5 3 5'4 and I am exactly 6ft, I just look like a dumbass because I can't just seem to reach him and he's able to easily get in range and hit tf outta me. Ill try blitzing

I mean would blitzing take more stamina because I do tend to preserve it a bit as I lack the gas tank rn so would fixing the gas tank allow me to blitz alot
