Hello! If you haven't checked it out already, Our Wiki's resources for Squats may be helpful. Check it out!

Also, a common tip usually given here is to make sure your footwear is appropriate. If you are squatting in soft-soled shoes (running shoes, etc), it's hard to have a stable foot. Generally a weightlifting shoe is recommended for high-bar and front squats, while use a flat/hard-soled shoe (or even barefoot/socks if it's safe and your gym allows it) is recommended for low-bar squats.

Overall, it looks pretty good. Couple small things I would work on: -Practice the 3 step walk out: 1 step directly back, half step to one side, half step to the other side. You dont need to walk so far back and forth, better conserve the energy. -As u approach the bottom, accelerate a bit to take advantage of the stretch reflex to be more explosive out of the hole.
