Meaning:
We can say that we drop the ball if we fail at something or if we make a big mistake. This idiom comes from the sport of American football where it's generally not a good thing to drop the ball. This is why we talk of failure and mistakes. If you want to tell someone how important it is to succeed in a particular activity, then this is a good idiom to use.
