Overshown recalled the times during his rehab when he would work on his reaction time in an unorthodox manner. He would grab a fly swatter and hit flies in his garage to get "little wins" because of his competitive nature.

"You got to find little wins throughout the day. There were times I would go into my garage with a fly swatter and hit flies all day. Just to feel good, just to feel something. "
