Don't let the cuddly and cute mascot lull you into thinking otherwise: Otters are fearsome competitors and hard workers. This story is entirely my own and can serve as a warning for rookies entering the league.
As I unloaded my pack of the rather posh team bus from the airport, the warm welcome of the administrative staff and the brief tour of the facilities was cute short by this monster of a man storming into our board room. With a fist slammed down onto the table, we were told in no uncertain terms that we had 15 minutes to be in helmets and cleats, low contact practice gear, or we would wish we were. Angus Winchester is not someone you forget when you meet him for the first time. I certainly will never forget our first meeting and the grueling practice that came after.
All my weaknesses were out on display. I was told that in no unequivocally that I was already falling behind my other safety drafted Isaiah McGinn. His hands and his taking skill put mine to shame! But Angus focused fist on my lack of speed. This first practice was devoted entirely to shoring up thus weakness. I focused hard, ran my ass off, pushed myself and was able to increase my speed by a sizable portion this first week. It's not enough though...I'm going to need a lot of work in the coming weeks to not let my otter brothers down.
