i really don't understand what the narrator is saying. and more generally, what does "to pick up from" mean except for "to resume an activity" ? |
I would have expected this phrase to be "He's picked HIS game up from last year." That would mean he's improved from last year - 'pick your game up' is a euphemism meaning 'examine your performance and improve your results'.
