self-confidence
I am looking for an expression we got additional self-confidence. Is it ok?
JB: We sail forty days a year on average, and our wish is to be among the first ten on the ISAF list, which isn't that easy considering the competition. Winning of this year's ACI Adris Match Race Cup surprised even us. Having in mind this year's competition our goal was to reach semi-final. Now, of course, we expect a little bit more because we have gained additional self-confidence.
