(S4) - PT #1 - Life after football - JohnWachter - 10-23-2017
As a rookie entering his first year of the DSFL, and at only 22 years of age, John Wachter admittedly hasn't exactly planned out the entirety of his future. They say if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life, and that's certainly true for football, but not many other things. One other love he has, however, is alcohol. Before the league he was working in a brewery, and is still a regular at local pubs. After the grind of football he expects to already have a lot of money, to spend time with friends and family, but to never stop working. Wachter plans on working towards opening his own bar and grill back home in Baltimore. It'll be a sports bar with memorabilia from the league and a general laid back environment. Plus, he should already have a decent amount of money and doesn't need to rob people with high drink prices, everything will be reasonably priced to assure everyone has the best possible experience in every aspect.
He also wants to give back to the community and provide a positive role model to the youth. Because of this, he's looking to land a coaching gig in the future. There are many high school teams in the area looking for all the help they can get, including his personal high school: Dundalk. With his time in the league, John hopes to teach these kids not only the fundamentals of football, but how to carry yourself and be a better teammate and person in general.

Despite foregoing his senior year at Idaho State University, the long-term plan for quarterback Ethan Hunt is to return back to ISU to complete his Bachelor of Business Administration and to hopefully pursue a career in the private business sector, either with an already established, big name company, or to start up his own as an entrepreneur. Either way, Hunt's after football plans are to simply finish up his education and to move into business.
What kind of business would Hunt go into? Even the quarterback doesn't know at the time, and is mainly focused on his development as a football player rather than his fallback plan if his career goes south. But, to make a guess, all signs would point to Hunt joining a upscale clothing company, such as H&M, as part of their higher up administration team, as well as to help out in the social media department. How do we know this? According to his former teammates at the San Jose Sabercats, the majority of Hunt's clothes come from the clearance section at the local H&M. Of course, Hunt has outright denied this, insisting that he shops at other clothing shops.
Would it make sense for Hunt just to retire right now and pursue his education and business degree? Nah.

Growing up in the outskirts of town as the son of a hall of fame linebacker gave young Ben many different perspectives on life. From experiencing the gifted life he was born into, to seeing the dusk to dawn laborers who seemed to have aged well beyond their years, Ben knew that some day these people would need competent healthcare due to the toll that this lifestyle could take on their bodies. When the dust settles on his football career, a new career in medicine is what Ben has in mind. Trading in shoulder pads for a scalpel, knee braces for scrub pants, Ben plans on attending University of Illinois-Chicago following the conclusion of his career. Building upon his pre-med undergraduate studies to do so, it will take a lot of refreshers to accomplish this following many shots to the head since learning the material for the first time. Once finished with school, a focus in emergency medicine is what peaks his interest at the time being. Although a lot can change between now and then this is the career that has long been a dream of the young football player from Champaign, Illinois. Only time will tell just how far this dream will take him.

Nobody can play football forever. Not even the greats. A player may avoid injury throughout their career, but Father Time treks onward, and one day they will pass their prime. Even a kicker, the safest of all positions in this thrilling sport, is not immune. One young kicker is aware of this, and has made sure his future is safe, regardless of his career in football.
"Well, I'd like to retire to Sister Bay, Wisconsin, one day... But I've got a lot planned before that."
This is Dean Jackson. At age 22, he has just graduated with a dual degree in Economics and Violin Performance, and he is a man with a plan.
"Once my career in professional football ends, whether that be in 1 year or 20 -- I intend to make it the latter of the two -- I hope to utilize the non-football skills I learned at Rice. I'd like to work in corporate risk assessment, among other things. I mean can you imagine the pressure of knowing your decision could make or break a start-up, or set a new course for an already established company? Man, that'd be great. Nothing will beat the feeling of setting up for a field goal when you're down by 2 with no time left, but I bet that that could get close.
Anyway, I'd hope to use the funds I gain from a future job related to economics and any that I make from football to one day start a small business -- of course, hopefully it'd one day be a large business. I'd like to open either an aquatics store -- fish, aquariums, and the like -- or a music publishing group like Hal Leonard. Nearer to the end of my work life, I'd love to play Violin as a profession. Hit me up, Green Bay Symphony Orchestra."

After his NSFL career, Brice Boggs plans on taking up a head coaching job. Where will he start? Well, Boggs plans on starting with collegiate football. "It's so much full of energy." He was quoted in an interview. In that same interview, he also stated, "If I had the opportunity to play an additional 4 years in the NCAA, I would take it in a heart beat. I love the tradition, the culture, the fanfare, everything about it." Of course, Boggs would likely not take a head coaching job immediately, he would most likely have to work his way up from something like a CB or LB coach, to a defensive coordinator, to earning a HC job. Boggs is also rumored to potentially search for a career in the NFL if he were to retire in the NSFL with what he felt like would be another few years left in the tank. "Man, I grew up watching the NFL. That's where I wanna be. But I like the NSFL and where I am right now, of course. Colorado's great, the NSFL's great. I just... Sometimes I wonder about what it would like to play on the pro level." It would not be until he would be north of 30, when his playing level would have diminished, but even still, Boggs has shown to be one of the more prominent rookies in the NSFL.

According to an NSFL-sponsored PSA, I now understand that I can’t play football forever.
I’m okay with that.
I’ve also been informed that I have to have a plan if I want to be successful in retirement. In that, I respectfully disagree. I have met a ton of rookies and barely-hanging on veterans for whom that is definitely true, but that aint me. I am Kevin Fucking Cushing. My retirement plan? To make a FUCK TON of money in the NSFL. Sure, I’m not getting paid that much now (more on that in a bit), but I have jersey sales, endorsements, speaking engagements, training sessions with DSFL rookies…employment is not an issue. I made millions.
Ove the next few years, who knows, maybe I won’t make as much. I’ve heard rumors that the DSFL will have other trainers, so that will take a chunk out, but I have something else going for me: league arbitration. After my rookie contract ends, my minimum pay jumps to three million a year. Again…my MINIMUM pay. If I keep improving, that will only increase.
So, to those worried about my future, let me assure you that I do have a plan. It’s don’t suck.

For Budda there is no life after football. Ever since he came out of the womb he was ready to play football, he's only lived and breathed it since then. There is a reason Browning's first name is Budda, his parents knew he'd come out of the womb and be invincible. Meaning, there really is no end of the line for Budda, there literally is no life after football. UNLESS they somehow cure his mad cow disease Budda will play for the rest of his life and will live happily ever after as the 20 year old MANIMAL he is.
All bullshit aside, Budda would most likely go back home to Seattle and work with his mom in the family dance studio. As I've written previously he likes to go back to his roots to pay homage to where his quick feet all started. Although he's never been a full on ballerina he's always had a passion for tap dancing as he can attribute some of his football success to that form of dancing.
To keep a long story short, Budda will have plenty of money by the time he's done with this weak sauce competition and will live happily ever after with his wife Lisa Ann and 7 kids somewhere in Seattle.
The End

To be honest, I thought that I'd be able to play in the NSFL forever. Screw father time, I'd surely be able to find a way to extend my playing career by taking something, illegal or otherwise. Apparently that isn't the wisest decision, so I have indeed come up with an alternative concept that will still provide me with the chance to participate in the sport that I love....football.
I have been in some early discussions with the LFL(Lingerie Football League) and am proud to announce that they will allow me to establish a new team in the league, upon my retirement from the NSFL, whenever that may be. The name and colors have already been chosen so let me introduce the newest addition to the LFL!
![[Image: ocog.png]](https://s1.postimg.org/1jmf9tkda7/ocog.png)
Since arriving in the OC, I have found it a pleasant place to live, so I see no reason why my team can't be based in the area. And the color is hardly a surprise considering the areas name and current Otter orange used here in the NSFL. The name? Well, I find it witty and appropriate so it's definitely staying. If the players don't like it well that's tough shit. They can go and play for some other lame team like the "Heart", "Dream" or the "Bliss". Seriously, what shitty damn names. The Ovulators are here to stay, play and slay. Ovulator's......mount up!(Bonus "Young Guns" reference.)

The thought of retirement isn't one that's on Denzel Diaz's mind at the moment, but he knows it will come eventually, quick and sudden, father time pulling the rug out from under you, no matter how fast of a runningback you are, Father Time will catch you. This was a well known fact to Denzel, which is why he did graduate University of Southern California with a degree in teaching and a minor in writing. Denzel has always had a certain interest in teaching, not children, but young people of the world and the obvious struggles that will face them. He also has a certain affinity for writing, weaving words to create stories, and inform. So perhaps this is where Denzel Diaz's path will lead once the drean of playing football professionally is over, once the shoulder pads are off, his knees aching from abuse, shoulders torn to shreds from the years of collisions. Maybe he will find solace in a classroom, or at his desk, scribbling away at a new novel he's working on.
