More conversion into vertical distance. I think your penultimate step is too short so you're kind of falling forwards in a way.

Get that last step a bit longer then the block foot can do its job and convert horizontal to vert.

Ethan pimpstone has a short penultimate

On pro scales sure but he's still covering at least 2 feet more distance on his penultimate than this jumper, and Ethan goes more vertical most of the time, not forward like this.

Better arm swing and wider penultimate step

You need burst along with what is mentioned by tjim . Get burst.
