Explanation to scores reversing

My scores would reverse due to me being ill, tired, lack of sleep, muscles pains, pulled ligaments and broken bones. All of these things can affect my performance because they all stop me from doing my best at my performance which affects my scores and makes it harder to get good scores.

Drills to improve

Sprints – this is where you practice running flat out in sprint with your legs pumping and your arms bent.  

Running methods – this is where you practice running at different speeds and how far away that you use them, and you see which one suits you the best.  

Jumping methods – this is where you practice different types of jumps, you decide which one is perfect for you and decide when you will do it to get a good score.
