SMARTHLETE: How do you think you compare to the strongest players from other nations or asked differently, how do you stack up against them?
JONAS DOBNIG: Speed wise, body weight and how we play, we can definitely play with them.
But it’s the small things that Team Canada players or players from Czech Republic do: everything they do is the right way, every small detail is perfect, just every pass is on the stick. So the small details, we ought to work on and just do the simple stuff before you do something difficult. That's what we try to do and it kind of works. We're still far back, but we're getting closer to that and we can see it now, because we played against a couple of good teams.
I would say the small details are the biggest problem right now and we have to focus more on them than the big picture.
SMARTHLETE: What do you think about your personal performance? How happy were you with your performance and how do you see yourself compared to some of the players that you've played against? For example, the physical level, stickhandling, or shooting?
JONAS DOBNIG: Physical level, I would say I'm up there. The physical level is just about how you work out in the locker room or in the gym and everything. But the small things: I can skate with them, but I need to work on my shot, I need to work on my stick, and I need to work on my hockey sense. That's everything you can work on. So it's nothing like, "Oh, I can't, I can't get there.“
If you keep on working, eventually you will maybe get there, and I hope so. That's why I'm still playing hockey and working on it. And I'm not going to stop till I'm going to make it right.
SMARTHLETE: There is one thing I found out about you: Did it surprise you that you were the fastest skater at the championships?
JONAS DOBNIG: It kind of did, because it felt like I was just playing normally. I didn't really realize that I was going that fast. But it was nice to see that you're up there with the best players in the world.
SMARTHLETE: I also read what your coach (New Jersey Rockets) had to say about you and that the staff is surprised every time they see you on the ice just how quick you are.
JONAS DOBNIG: Thank you!
