Good response. Hell, I'm in my 40's and I keep improving at my beer league every year. Well, at least, I think I am. LOL. Confidence is huge.
A lot of it is just in repetition.
Comfort leads to confidence (or over confidence )
Some people are built different than others where every mistake eats them alive, some who just ignore mistakes and focus on the positives, etc. Psychology is an important component of sports that is often overlooked especially by fans. In the case of marincin, he isn't going to get a new bag of tricks as he's not going to be a 50+ point superstar... so he doesn't have that going for him. Fans won't care that he may stop more entries than a goalie stops pucks so long as he lets one chance for the other team to score and they do. I think it's still worth trying to make an NHL player out of him because nobody on the team does what he can.
