If the NSFL decided to suspend the season, Shawn Dawkins would probably be disappointed as he’d lose some valuable time on the field. Having found football later than the majority of his peers, repetitions and in game experience are valuable for his development as a player.
A suspended season coupled with social distancing, it would be difficult to train together with his teammates. Having been part of a large draft class, new faces were added to the defensive side of the ball with Portland’s first 3 picks being fellow defensive backs. After a rough start to the season, the Pythons started to gel, with better defensive showings of late. Fortunately, they can remain in contact with one another using Discord and sharing how everyone is doing and what we are doing to stay game ready. Social distancing rules out some avenues of training, so we’d have to be a bit more creative or shift our focus to areas that we perhaps haven’t focused on as much. This could be watching and breaking down film to really work on the mental side of things.
A lost season could also be an opportunity to get back into some hobbies that were pushed aside as the emphasis on football grew. So while there would be disappointment in losing a season, there are still opportunities to grow and develop as a player and person during that time.
