How To Stop Pushing Myself Backwards In The Jerk ??

Hi guys, I really need your help

My C&J is lacking due to my jerk. I keep pushing myself backwards in the jerk and missing. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to fix it.

My guess of the issue is short stepping the front foot, but my knee angle is usually at 90°.

However, my front foot always hit the floor first.

My focus is on driving straight up, keeping tension in abs, keeping head backwards, putting front foot futher.

I already do jerk balances, jerks behind the neck, press in jerk, push presses etc.

Do you have any tips?

Help with the technique

I just started my journey a couple of weeks ago with an empty bar, this is 40kg clean @67kg body weight I notice for now that I receive the bar heavily on my racking position. Any comments on the technique and any resources to improve it?

Roadmap to get better

Ive been going to a crossfit gym for about three years and thats where i have been introduced to olympic style weightlifting. Ive made good progress in several areas but the more technical lifts like the snatch i feel like im not progressing and probably doing everything wrong. The coaches try to help me but it seems like its just not working for me. I know a primary reason for that is because crossfit classes dont spend enough time on each lift to make fast progress.

I would like to get better at the snatch and im wondering if i could make good progress spending dedicated time out of my CrossFit classes to work on it by myself and use YouTube as a guide or if i should go to a city about an hour away that has an olympic weightlifting gym and work with a trainer there.
