It's true that Gohan has shown a lot of improvement as a fighter but it justisn't possible for him to have suddenly become the perfect person with that in mind maybe we shouldn't have been surprised to hear that soon Gohan is going to mess up bad again
Really think about it those mistakes you saw in Dragon Ball Z haven't shown up mentioned
in Dragon Ball super. Ever since he was just a little boy no one except for Goku believed that a child could beat Cell even Vegeta doubt his power then once Gohan decided to listen to his dad things only got worse he couldn't bring himself to fight to his fullest even against such an evil person but then he was pushed past his limit. Gohan needed a very strong reason to starts believing himself, the scene of android 16 and Goku blows cell up in Kaio Planet.
The proof that he still hadn't learned his lesson yet came during the time of peace after buu had been defeated. Gohan decided to give up on training completely and that was actually his weaknesses coming out he didn't think he needed a train anymore because he was too confident that evil would never return and even if it did he knew Goku could handle it and once again he doubting himself.
Another problem happen in Resurrection of F arc where picollo sacrifices himself again to save Gohan. Gohan forgets all about the doubts he has in himself and his true power comes
out but the thing is this was the first time Gohan actually learned from his mistakes.
Doubting himself is what Gohan always does, just like when the exhibition matches against universe 9. Gohan did trained after the ROF saga and he went up before his turn to see test his strength against Lavender of Universe 9. What happen is that, Gohan gets nervous when he cant sense the enemy Ki. he thought to himself that he needed to take him slow
but his dad yelled out to him almost as if he could hear his thoughts and told him that he shouldn't and that reminded Gohan to stop doubting himself this was just the kind of challenge he was looking for.
Another point with that fight is that Gohan is really maturing as a fighter. He refused to take Senzu bean and the only way to push himself is to let himself to be the underdog and then he can eliminate his weaknesses.
In the tournament of power we've seen some of the same maturity from Gohan that we saw
during the exhibition match but we're also about to see some of the same childish plays from when he was a teenager starting to show back up again.
In his first major fight during the tournament of power go home was faced with Obuni, a fighter that left him in a similar situation as in the fight during the exhibition match, Lavender
who are able to change his Ki during fight and of course Gohan gets nervous. As the fight continues he is eventually able to detect where his opponent was coming from this fight was
a great example of the changes you've seen in Gohan's growth as a person.
Picollo have pointed out 2 very important lessons to Gohan before the tournament of Power started.
1) Overeager: Basically Gohan is panicking he was so worried and wasting time doubting his own ability to save his family wasn't thinking clearly. Gohan might lose if he is so determined to win and paying no attention to the actual person he was fighting which means he would underestimate them
2) Stop doubting himself: another thing piccolo pointed out was that once Gohan was able to break through those doubts about himself and actually power up fully
Gohan may have inherit overconfidence from his Dad but we havent seen Gohan being overconfidence and get cocky in any episode in Dragon Ball Super. He really matures as a fighter. He never seemed to doubt himself nor did he ever seem to get overconfident but
things are about to change Gohan will be given the very rare chance to take down Toppo.
In order to take eliminate toppo Gohan will be forced to also eliminate 17 and this will cause Gohan to hesitate. This is the first sign of the old Dragon Ball Z Gohan that we haven't seen yet during this entire tournament of power are starting to come back.
You're probably thinking this setback for Gohan maturity is just proving that Gohan will never fully mature. I think this will only push them further because now he will see that he made things worse for his team the same as when he forced Goku to pick up his slack versus cell and majin buu and when piccolo stepped in front of him to take on frieza attacks that means that the same as with all the times he caused trouble for the ones he loves this will make Gohan power up harder than ever before again
