What went well

Touched down at -75 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 44 ft and 73 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 0.93 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −0.93 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 17.5 ° at 59 %, −0.55 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 81 %, −0.47 points

Next time

Departure

Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.

What happened: Bank increased to 1.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 14° into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level

See Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 134 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 56 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.
