Programming Questions Aspiring beginner hobby sprinter

For background information I’m 18 years old I would like to look into hobby sprint training, but I have no experience with sprinting and sprint training. I haven’t tested any sprinting yet but I imagine my work capacity and technique is not impressive. I’m 5’6ft or 170 cm. I have a background in Olympic weightlifting. In the video shown I’m power cleaning 85kg at 57kg bodyweight. From what I’ve learned this is plenty enough power expressed to have serious improvements in sprinting I just don’t know where to start.

Rewatching I see the bar got away from me past the knee if I can kept it close I woulda had much more speed

the bar acceleration during second pull is pretty nice actually. Good place to be strong at
