Dear Rookies,
Over the past several seasons, you have been and become my favorite part of the league. Period. Whether you are big classes, small classes or somewhere in between, filled with recreates, filled with fresh faces, you are the reason that I love this league. I’m probably going to become known as the Rookie Mentor who just can’t quit, and I can’t, because of all of you.
Seeing new users coming into the league, fresh and excited, curious about what this sim league thing is all about is just wonderful. I love watching you go “I have no idea what the GMs might like, but here’s a DSFL Mock draft for you” and then live out the season, get to know things a bit more, get in war rooms, and go for it with your ISFL mock drafts with so much more wisdom. I love seeing you not be disheartened if you were a late round pick, and instead use it to motivate yourself to become an even better pick and more desirable prospect for the ISFL draft. I love just watching new prospects who have never touched photoshop before, get it and then suddenly in a season or two become these graphics gods who are working at Dotts and working on awards and draft graphics. All of it, makes me so excited.
And recreates, oh my recreates. I love seeing you excited about being in a draft again after some very long careers (and sometimes short ones!). I love seeing you excited about returning to the league after a long absence, happy about some of the changes that were made to combat the things that frustrated you into leaving. I love watching as you are either excited and loyal in wanting to return to your DSFL team (and how excited they are to bring you back), and how excited you are about potentially finding a new home this season. I love watching you share your wisdom about “Hey here are some graphics tips” or “If you want help writing a mock draft, DM me”.
Rookie Chat. Rookies (whether veteran rookies, or true newbies), you are my favorite part of this league, and I’m so thankful to spend the seasons with you.
