Your physiology says, you've got big gains ahead, so grab the bull by the horns and immerse yourself.

From your program standpoint, you have a lot of workload in there. You're young-ish, so you could be handling it ok, but I would consider splitting it up with a day or 2 of recovery work in there. Keep up the cardio work as well, and don't underestimate just how fit you need to be to be a good track sprint cyclist.

Get out there and race, race, race. On the track ideally, but shorter crit style races would work well too. Learning how to race is a big part of your development. Looking for cues, watching riders' moves, when to jump, they're all things that come with experience.

Lastly, it sounds like you've got the funds to allow, and so I'd highly recommend touching base with the Black Line Coaching guys (not to be confused with Black Line Sprinting-BLS). I have a friend using their services and they are showing themselves to be extremely knowledgeable.
