Explanation

This sentence uses the opposite pattern from the coach example. 'I believe we should have started sooner' expresses a conviction about a past judgment/decision (this is a factual claim about what would have been better). 'I hope we can still catch the flight' expresses desire for an uncertain future outcome. Belief for the certain/past judgment, hope for the uncertain future.
