(S9) - PT 5 - Revisiting Expectations

[mabb]

Xandra set out this season to integrate into the community and feel like a true member. By the end of the regular season, she really was feeling the love. Unsure of how well she would fit in, Xandra was pleasantly surprised that the chat channels were a nice off the field way to bond with teammates. Seeing the dynamics among certain teams and players was entertaining, as well.

In terms of her other more technical goals, like anyone, Xandra was hoping to contribute to an Ultimini-winning team. Right now, the future looks good for this plan. The Tijuana Luchadores are heading to the playoffs, leading their division and playing record-setting football. This regular season record was the best in franchise history. So, that is obviously pretty great to be a part of such a fantastic team as a rookie.

Lastly, she really wanted to work on her skills as a cornerback, to be able to stick with the hot-shot receivers and make some critical plays. Having had a decent activity level through the season, she was able to really focus on key stats like speed, intelligence, agility, and hands. She had thought that strength would be the focus at first, but later shifted her goals based on feedback from the coaching team and their reads on how she would best execute their strategy.
