(S29) PT 1 - Training Camp

[Troen]

The season is officially starting soon, and players have reported back to their teams for training camp. Talk us through how training camp went. Which teammates reported late? What did training camp entail for you and your teammates to do. Do you think it prepared for you for the upcoming season? Any secret plays your team has come up with? So many different ways to go with this, just be creative.

Well, training camp kicked off with new award-winning defensive captain Dex Kennedy getting us together for a kick-off speech. We're pretty experienced on the defensive side of the ball this year with a ton of returning players. I didn't notice any late arrivals on the first day for our group and the intro speech was solid. Coming off of a loss in the Ultimus last year we unsurprisingly have a goal of making back again, but this time with a win. The league is both unpredicable and hard to repeat in so it's far from guaranteed, but I think we've mostly improved since last year on paper. Definitely have a lot of work to do to get there, but I've never been unable to do the work in the league.
Looking over to the offensive positions, Slurms definitely looked like he'd been out a bit late partying last night (or maybe this morning), but I have confidence that someone will beat the line into shape. It's really great to look at the line and see more personality than last year - I'm hoping they'll help us out in practice to really hone our play. Outside of my offensive counterparts, it's been nice to see Daytona developing. I have some concerns about Jim, though - he's been looking really pale for years and I heard he was part of the group that got us to never open up the roof even when the weather's nice. What a downer - I've loved playing in extreme weather when I've been able to. I guess the "skill players" want more pristine conditions to run faster or whatever. Lame!
