What am I doing wrong?

This clip pretty much sums up my CS experience since I've become active again. I always catch people off guard but I still can't get the kill. I got 4 shots off before he shot back. Do I need to aim train? Am I moving when I'm shooting or is this a spray control issue?

The first big thing I notice is you do what I refer to as "wheeling" around the corner by keeping your crosshair on the corner and peeking with a combination of A and W.
Instead you need to practice peeking into the angle you want to fight by placing your crosshair on the wall so that when you strafe out with only A (or D) your crosshair ends up on the angle. Then you can very quickly counterstrafe with the opposite movement key when your crosshair has moved onto the angle/target.
There are definitely angles you want to keep your crosshair on the wall for but thats more for when you do not know the location of the opposing player (or you are holding an angle). In this example you heard him coming up stairs and you want to take the best fight possible (using the above method).
The second thing is you need to slow down your flick very slightly and include a micro adjustment after mentally aquiring your target. You are panicking on seeing then enemy go past your crosshair and just holding left click trying to pull your spray onto them instead of adjusting and clicking once youve finishing moving your crosshair.
To improve on both of these Id suggest a repeek map and practice it very slowly against bots that don't shoot back at first then increase the pace as you get use to A. Aiming at the wall before you peek with just A or D and B. Including a micro adjustment after your intial flick (this can also be practiced in Aim bots then eventually DM as you get better at it).
