Clark Boyd awoke to find that someone had left a package outside his Mitte apartment door. Despite the lack of a tag or card, it was not hard to figure out who had sent this gift. In the box was a new pair of receiver gloves, a squeeze grip trainer, a reverse grip trainer, and a pair of catch-touch trainers. It was pretty obvious that these were sent by none other than Nick Kaepercolin, quarterback for the Berlin Fire Salamanders. It was no secret that Clark was underperforming in Berlin. Despite having the best hands on the team, the tight end was struggling to make catches in big moments. Clark felt like he was dropping more catches per game than he was making. But in practice, this was far from the truth. In fact, Clark didn't drop a single pass during training camp coming into the season. His hands were more or less as good as they were ever going to get. And in an effort to make him laugh, Nick sent this box of both meaningful and useless gear. Clark didn't like to wear gloves in practice, as he believed that catching bare-handed would train his touch. On top of that, he had long surpassed the need to use any grip trainers or even touch trainers. He hadn't touched them since high school. But being sent these reminders certainly made him laugh. And a laugh is exactly what Clark needed. Going into the end of the season, he needed to hold his head high if he wanted to help his team get to the playoffs.
