Option 2


Dan has never been the best player on any of the teams he has played on let alone the best player in any league, so therefor he is an expert at playing above his skill set. To accomplish this you need to be smart and use other factors to achieve what is needed. Is a player faster than Dan? Then he needs to use angles and positioning to his advantage. Is there someone that is outmuscling Dan in front of the net? Then Dan needs to get creative with his positioning and stick placement. There are always ways to accomplish any goal you have, even if you aren't technically advanced enough to accomplish this on paper.  You just have to out think and outperform your opponent. Will you accomplish this every time? Obviously not, but if you don't try you will never accomplish it anyways. That is Dan's recipe for success.
