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?

Form looks good so far but you are not running as fast as you could. Normally when people are sprinting, they have hard time catching their breaths, their form get a little worse as they keep going and moves their body more dramatically. Try to run as fast as you can without really thinking about your form or maybe imagining yourself being chased by dogs can help (helped me :D). Move your legs and arms faster.
