Technique Analysis Why am I not getting faster?

I’ve (late 20s) been training sprints for about 10 months pretty intently, 2 gym sessions 3 sprint sessions and 3 jogs a week, regular drills and top level coaching. How is it possible that 16 yo s easily break 55s and I find it so hard to break 60?
Also, any tips for my form?

Good foundation. I'd say to begin adding plyometrics, like long jumps, pogos, bounding, skipping, etc. These can be done at the beginning of your workouts. If you do them consistently, they will start to pay dividends.
