You just need more practice. Your clutch is fine. Using the "search" function, look up "clutch helper spring." Swapping springs (or removing the stock one entirely) will stop the way the clutch pedal annoyingly "pops" back up at you mid-shift.

My 2014 has a much easier-to-manage clutch than my 2011 did. Those 1-2 shifts are far smoother than on the previous car.

Many have recommended changing the helper spring to a little softer spring rate. Other swear the that RJM clutch pedal assembly replacement is the way to go, turning the clutch system into a much easier to use system. On my 2011, I found that practice made most of the difference.
