"Lost a step" means 
someone has become slower, less sharp, or less capable than they used to be, often due to age or injury, affecting their physical speed in sports or mental quickness in general; it can also literally mean stumbling or missing a physical step in a sequence, implying a minor error or oversight in a process. The phrase suggests a slight decline in performance or alertness, but it can be used both literally (stumbling) and figuratively (slowing down mentally or physically over time).
