(S23) - PT 4 - The Butterfly Effect

[Raven]

Code:

Written Option: Reflect on one moment in your player’s career (childhood, college, DSFL, or NSFL) where they faced an important turning point - perhaps a season-ending injury, unexpected trade, position switch, or a difficult decision. How did your player’s reaction change the way that their career has unfolded? What ramifications has their choice or circumstance had on their future or on the league?

Davriel Lavigne just announced his interest and eligibility for the upcoming DSFL draft. Lavigne played his college years in Colorado with the Colorado State University. He came in 4 years ago as a promising safety, being recognised as one of the best safeties in his high school's area. However his first season would prove to be quite a struggle. The transition from high school to college level of football proved to be a bigger gap than he originally assumed it would be and found himself losing out on the free safety starting position and with that also being red shirted. At the end of his first college year Lavigne would end up tearing their acl.

Receiving this injury made Lavigne realise that his dream of becoming a pro could just snap like that. So he took that injury as motivation to push himself to become the best he could once his acl had healed. Lavigne would return for the half way throughout his second year and would go on to become a direct impact for his team.

Lavigne believes that without suffering from his acl injury he might not have had the drive in the end to make the push to become a pro athelete. He is now ready to make his way into the NSFL and tear it up.

Well, my player is a brand spanking new. Tex Wrecks has not done anything. Zil. Nil. Nada. He has never played football before in his life. But he was very good at shuffleboard.

He began to have a career as a professional shuffleboard. But after a horrific injury to the elbow, he had to hang up his salts. And it was probably for the best. Wrecks just couldn't cut it on the mean streaks of PSL, The Professional Shuffleboard league.

Not many know this, but shuffleboard is a violent game. Do you think football is for the tough, the strong? No. It is not, sir. Those titles are reserved for only the bravest fools, who board-out in the three-zone, running the risk and tormenting a knockout within the zone. You think you know. But you have no idea.

But if it weren't for this elbow injury, Tex Wrecks would definitely be in The Professional Shuffleboard league. But we cannot change the past. And now, Tex has the opportunity to play in the NSFL and be a contributing member of a team. With grit and determination, he can make it in the NSFL. Well, I hope he does. Because if he doesn't, it reflects poorly on me. But I suspect he will do just fine.

There have been a few different moment in Wes's career that have affected who he's become today. Moving from school to the DSFL and from the DSFL to NSFL were both huge milestones, but the most affecting moment came quite recently, when the Philadelphia Liberty failed to qualify for playoffs in S22 of the NSFL. Not many had tipped them to go all the way, and with several young pieces in the defense and offense they were set up to have a middling season. Still Wesley hoped for the best and indulged in delusions of grandeur. In his mind he was finally at the top level, and that meant he deserved to go all the way and lift a trophy, but life doesn't work that way. On the field he found himself getting burnt over and over again. For a while it was disheartening of course. But ironically, when they were officially out of playoff contention he felt a weight lift. For the first time in his career Wesley realized that failure is not ultimate, that truly life is long and seasons are short. The win-at-all-cost mentality had turned toxic inside of him, and it was affecting his game. That was the point he decided to let it go, and turned a corner. This season Wes's broken out and contributed greatly to putting his team near the top of the leaderboard, and he attributes that to his new, more relaxed demeanor.

The biggest turning point for Wide Receiver Nick Kaepercolin of the London Royals was his decision to play football instead of baseball for the University of Nevada, which was the only university that offered him a football scholarship while he received many scholarship offers for baseball from more prestigous universities. With Kaepercolin's father being a professional baseball coach und Nick playing baseball the whole childhood, it was expected for him to start a baseball career, but after many discussions with friends, scouts and coaches, he decided to push for a career in football and boy was that a good decision. After injuries to the top wide receivers from Nevada, Kaepercolin switched positions from running back and quickly became one of the best wide receivers in college. He improved his game each and every year and finally got signed by the London Royals from waivers after not getting selected in the DSFL draft before. He had two great years for the expansion team before switching to the Baltimore Hawks, where he quickly became WR2 and is looking really good in their young offense. Who knows where Nick would be standing if he decided to play baseball and quit football. But being one of the best WRs in the best league in the world shows that he definitely made the right decision. (220 words)

Donald McBobby is still fairly new to the football scene, having barely ever played until his junior year of high school. However, his raw talent caught the eye of his coaches and eventually, college scouts, and after an astonishing junior season of high school he was beginning to be recruited by numerous universities. After a stellar senior season, he committed to the University of Connecticut, staying close to his home. However, after a freak accident that rendered him unable to play his first two seasons of college football, leading people to wonder if he'd ever play again. Donald, not always known as the hardest worker, decided to fully commit to coming back in the best physical shape he possibly could, and was ready to go for his third year. Connecticut has been known for many years as being a laughingstock of a football program, finishing 1-11 in each of the two seasons that McBobby sat out. However, with Bobby's defensive leadership, the team improved all the way to 2-10. Seriously, it's an awful program, they really need to just cut football. Anyways, that injury propelled McBobby to become the player he is today, and now he starts off on his journey in the DSFL, in order to reach his goal of playing in the NSFL.
