To do a good side kick you always have to bring your knee up... I shoot my knee up towards the ceiling and bring it across my body so i can release it with as much poweras possible... This also helps with spinning side kick...

Yea, i agree with Angus, bring your knee up as high as possible then shoot your foot out and turn your hip over and down when your are kicking. Keep your hands up too.
You might consider not using the side kick much at all because it makes you very vulnerable for take-downs in your sport. I would stick with the Muay Thai style fight for striking.
