This is actually something that is coming up in a lot of my conversations with players lately.
In my experience, there are three types of players.
1 - The player that goes after every bit of TPE possible, gets it, and manages to do this over a long period of time. These players exist and they are awesome, but a lot of people aren't going to fall into that category.
2 - The player that pushes themselves to go after every bit of TPE, gets burnt out, and goes inactive. They'll get 200-300 TPE in a season or two, then go inactive during their first NSFL season. They're great fillers and can quickly fill a need, but peak early on.
3 - The player that paces themselves, earns at their own rate, and sticks around. These guys are great. Maybe they won't get to 200 TPE in their first season, but if they earn a decent amount every season, they'll end up way ahead of the #2 category guys. Plus, they stick around and remain part of our community.
Unfortunately, it's hard to know which one of these you are until you've been in the league a while. If you're a #1, awesome! But if not, that's okay, too. If you feel like the league is too much work, it's okay to dial it back. We'd much rather players to go at their own pace rather than push themselves too hard and cause the league to stop being fun for themselves.
