"I was very nervous, almost like during the game" confessed Ovi to "MK". "Still, these are different emotions. Probably because of the fact that at the games I work out physically, but here it was different, it was brain's work out! Now I've realized that I can succeed not only playing hockey, but in other areas of life… College education will to add to my game, now I'll try to think more during the game, to use the theory in practice…"
