First quarter of the season is underway. Many players have started receiving letters to start make appearances. Maybe this is something that really picks up right after your drafted. They hope you still are not to busy and too popular to ignore their letters. They are hoping for anyone to show up to make this appearance special. Unfortunately, it is just that. They want anyone at this point. Believe me, I love being the superstar and have all the fans running up for pictures and autographs, but this isn’t that. I think most of the letters I’m receive are the product of a copy and paste campaign to get a professional athlete at their event. Unless the letter is super personalized and shows they have been a fan for longer than the 4 weeks I’ve been in the ISFL, then I will not be attending. I also would be much more open to someone reaching out to me as a Minnesota Grey Duck. There is a level of pride I have earned in the DSFL. In the ISFL, for now, I am nothing. Until I prove otherwise I’m not comfortable making appearances on behalf of the team. Who wants to show up to a place after being built up and hearing the constant question of do I know X and X. I won’t be good enough for these appearances now. But in a few season’s my name is going to be the one the kids are asking about. I will need to remain humble and enjoy my appearances then.
