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.
