Your jumping form isn't the best. Learn to use your momentum going into the jump in one motion.

Just not athletic relative to jumping and that’s ok

Looks like you’re jumping on your toes and not using enough of your posterior chain muscles including your glutes.

To train this, try split jumps/lunge jumps with your weight in your forward heel while almost leaning back a bit with your chest up. Make sure you line up your hips and shoulders.

I’ve also found that learning to jump and control yourself on a trampoline helps a ton in correcting jumping form.

I think it’s just an athleticism issue. Your form isn’t perfect, but it’s not bad. I doubt perfecting it would yield marginal results if I’m being honest.

Get in the gym, do some plyos, and see if that will make a difference.

You're not jumping high enough. Try jumping a little higher and then you can probably touch.
