"He has missed opportunities, just like everyone else. He is always here trying. He has always got over blips and scored goals. That is really impressive.
He has always got over blips' = 'He has always got so much blips' ?

Hi No, that's not quite right. To "get over" something is to overcome it: to move on past your mistakes or difficulties - and not let them bother you - He was very nervous about speaking in public, but he got over the problem However, there is a similar construction in English: - His problem is, he is always over-confident [= he has too much confidence in himself] In this second example, I think you would always use a hyphen to join 'over' to the adjective. So the meaning you are looking for (in your example) is the first one Dave
