Looks like the pilot needs some crosswind training.

I think under the circumstances the Pilot did a remarkable job, and is in no
need of extra training :-)

But for the unfortunate gust of wind at just the wrong moment, it would
have been a good landing in difficult conditions.

If there is any training involved, it would be as regard the pilots
decision to attempt a landing, if, but only if, it's demonstrated that
the landing took place when the crosswind component (as reported to the
crew) exceeded that certificated for the aircraft.
