@hangglider yes try that technique next time! When I was a beginner I would often lose control while landing because I was too slow. Now I always pull in and come in for a landing with a lot of speed and it gives me good control until the final flare.
That's tough to watch. A bit of extra airspeed in trashy air is good/optional (depending on your skill level) when you have altitude but coming in for a landing in trashy air demands extra airspeed to punch through the trash. You could have stayed on course for a straight in approach had you had that additional airspeed...
Did you have enough speed? I'm not sure but I don't think you pulled in a lot (which would have given you more control as you probably know!)?
You're right. The supervisor told me to increase the speed. But I did not. It resulted in the crush maybe for that reason.

Yes. I should have added more speed.
