7) Ultimus week is a time where new players begin to imagine what their future careers could become and for current players to remember past success or even current success. For me it is all about potential. Brach Thomaslacher is a hard hitting bullet that is here and ready to make an impact for any team in which he ends up. As the draft approaches I have set a few goals for myself and I envision great things for my player. My goals will stay centered around one primary thought and that is “How can I help my team win?” This thought will be what shapes my player throughout his time in not only the DSFL but the NSFL as well. One vision I have that stands out above all else is to see my player be a champion. You cannot do that if you do not win and the only way to win is to be a team player. As I said before I see that being the biggest motivator in my players' careers. For Brach Thomaslacher this will all start with becoming a team player. My goal is to be a very active member of any locker room! I want to Brach to become a player that mentors new players and builds lasting friendships with old. Of course I want to be remembered for the tackles that I make and the sacks that I get but, ultimately above all else I want to be remembered for the games that I won!
Now as with any player, selflessness is great but I also have some more selfish goals that I hope to achieve in my players career! Some are extremely ambitious and others are a little less so. I want my playstyle to show just how impactful the LB position can be. One goal I have is to break the Season Tackle Record that is currently held by both Kurt Hendrix and Haruki Ishigawa at 144. I know that is ambitious but, if you do not shoot to be the best then you will never realize your potential. Which leads me to my next ambitious goal which is to become a player that is remembered long past the date when his playing career ends. I want to see Brach Thomaslacher in the Hall of Fame and to be forever enshrined as one of the all time greats in this league. I know I am new to this league and there is still a lot for me to learn, however I think my naivety will help to fuel my passion for this league and for this sport and in the end my stats will speak for themself!
8)What can I say about my early experience with his league? Well I can tell you one thing and that is it has been overwhelmingly positive. The constant grind for TPE and the excitement of wondering where you will be drafted has made this first few weeks thoroughly enjoyable. I believe I am becoming slightly addicted. I have been around for a couple weeks so far and I have been met with such open arms when it comes to players and teams. When I was picked up off waivers by the Kansas City Coyotes I was met with a very positive locker room that was extremely helpful. I could tell they wanted my player to succeed as much as I did. Even after I went back to waivers and have been preparing for the draft I have had overwhelming support from so many different individuals across the teams in the DSFL. Whether it be Matty from Kansas City or iStegosauruz from the Bird Dogs, I have had so much help that it has made these first couple of weeks very enjoyable and a whole lot easier. One problem I have encountered that has been more just a learning curve then anything else is the navigation of the forums. It has been difficult at times to make sure everything is going in the correct spot and I have even got to the point where I have felt very overwhelmed about what needs to be done. I can definitely see where a first time user could get lost and have no idea what to do. However, I was lucky to be met with a ton of very helpful people and friends that really made it easy on me to get things done in not only a timely manner but also in the correct way. When it comes to my players performance I really do not have much to report as of yet. I was able to play two games after getting picked up off of waivers and I really could not be happier with what my player was able to do in his first two games! Through 2 games I have amassed 5 tackles and 1 sack and that just means the world to me. To be able to go out there and make an impact after being picked up off of waivers was just one of the best things that could have happened. Moving forward I believe things will only get better for me as the draft approaches and I get more and more comfortable with navigating the forums. I look forward to all the new people that I will meet and the new team I will call home!
