Why is Kid Flash so slow?

Kid Flash (Wally West) seems slow compared to The Flash (Barry Allen) and Impulse (Bart Allen) primarily because his origin is an imperfect replication of Barry's, giving him less raw power, and due to psychological blocks stemming from his upbringing and feelings of inadequacy, though he can overcome these with training and overcoming emotional hurdles. In the Young Justice series, he's notably slower because he's less experienced and often holds back or isn't fully connected to the Speed Force like the others.
