Being drafted in to the NSFL is perhaps the best feeling I’ve ever had, but they days leading up to it can be daunting. All unproven NSFL rookies deal with the nagging feeling of self-doubt. Even if they dominated in the DSFL, they still have to worry about the bigger, faster, stronger players in the NSFL. Confidence is difficult to maintain.
Seeing my name and image on draft day was a wonderful moment. Getting that invite to the team discord is indescribable and unforgettable. But it’s only the beginning. From moving across the country to playing in your first game, it’s stressful. At least I didn’t have to deal with too much culture shock. Imagine the kid from Eastern Europe who gets drafted by Orange County; that would be a rough transition. At least Lexington, Norfolk, and Phoenix all are in the United States.
It doesn’t get much easier from there. Sure, you bond with your teammates and explore the city, but the NSFL veterans are no joke. Congrats on your DSFL award! You’re now the worst player on the team.
But don’t worry. You’ll get better. Do your tasks, and you’ll improve. In a few seasons, you’ll look back on the draft and first few weeks with a smile.
