My advice is first work on the poses, then fix the timing. Needs more squash and anticipation. The stretch looks better but needs more work too. I think the head needs to drop lower pre jump and the back needs to arch back full stretch when extended. And for the landing make sure he lands with his feet ahead of his body and then squashes into balance, it looks weird because it is a forward jump and he is landing almost vertically.
I'm sure there's a few more things you gotta work on, but if you get the 3 main poses right it will be a start. It's not a bad idea to start from sketch.
