I was getting better and now I'm getting worse

title says it all really. I started going to a club a couple years ago, then I quit for a year cause I was super stressed about exams and I rejoined the next year to a different club. I was making really good progress with footwork and speed and different shots for about a year but for the last 6 months or so I've just been getting worse. each time. my timing is always off, I can't smash anymore without hitting the net, I can't clear properly in matches anymore and my pace has dropped. I joined another sort of social badminton group where we just play matches and I was doing really good at the start too, picking up difficult shots and playing against really good people and getting good practice but now I just show up and hit some mediocre. slow and high shots and I'm just seen as dead weight now and im so frustrated with myself for not playing any differently each time. how do i fix this?
