Are you uncoordinated or really underweight? A lack of strength can make you lose muscle control and hence slow you down.

Practice will increase speed, Strength will increase speed.
Genetics also will play a factor but alot of that you can overcome.

Don't worry too much, just keep practicing. Something else is that often you over estimate others speed and underestimate your own.

If you are having trouble connecting, it may not be your speed, but maybe you are telegraphing to your opponenet.
