10. Write a short biography or story about your player. This could include background about how they came to the ISFL and how they’ve done so far, a story about their role in an exciting game, or anything else related to their experience in the league.

Woo, made this here with all the ice on in the booth

Maddie grunted as she hit the top of her squat rep, barbell bouncing slightly on her shoulders with the abrupt change. For it being early in the offseason, the former rookie of the year was hitting the weights hard. There was a fire behind her eyes in the best of times, but the combination of Chicago's recent struggles, some doubts of her being renewed, and the recent departure of Evan Jones all added more fuel. Expectations were high this past season for Hayes, and while she felt them and lived up to some, she left a lot on the table production wise and that was upsetting. She shook her head slightly and refocused on the bar sitting on her back and her work for the day. It was a long day of leg work ahead.

At the gate outside, when they pull up, they get me loose

Her waist bent again, and knees followed.

Yeah, Jump Out boys, that's Nike boys, hoppin' out coupes

Back up again, feet almost floating off the platform. In some ways, it was like her rookie season. Maddie remembered all to well the feelings of frustration and perceived disrespect from the draft, as well as question marks about her potential for contribution when she was seen as a flashy player without the fundamentals to be a feature back or win games after her time in Minnesota generated more doubters. She proved them wrong then, and after a somewhat stagnant season following her rookie campaign she was energized and ready to make a similar leap again - as if collecting a bunch of skill upgrades all at once.

This shit way too big, when we pull up give me the loot.

Last rep. Down again, and back up, pushing through both physical and mental weight on her shoulders. She had a long offseason ahead, but she knew she would come out of it stronger and ready to be one of the top running backs in the league. She had the speed, and the strength and game IQ would come in the next few months. She dropped the bar on to the hooks and made eye contact with the angry blue eyes of her reflection. There was a storm coming in off Lake Michigan, about 5'11 and 200 pounds heavy, it was about to tear through the league.

25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?

Given what I know and what I've done, I'm incredibly happy that I took the chance on swapping from wide receiver to running back. Even if the big plays are fewer, I get to play some as a receiver and get to grind away 4 yards at a time. If I wasn't doing this, I'd probably play on the defensive side, likely as a corner, but maybe a safety. I wanted to ride with a rugby player from the get go so playing in the box on defense might happen, but I love to build quick players, as anyone in the SHL can confirm. I wouldn't want to play on the offensive line or at tight end, not wanting to spend my time blocking, and as an affiliate member the idea of playing QB is a little daunting and not really for me. It feels very much like a role for players who make this their main league. Nothing wrong with that as a concept, but I didn't really want to pursue it or put that pressure on myself to earn. I've found it much better to half-effort the earning and see a bit more progress and success early in my career.
