I’ve been a part of the ISFL for a little over a week now, and I’m hooked. And that has everything to do with the community here. Seriously, I’ve been blown away. Every interaction that I’ve witnessed or been a part of has been relentlessly positive, supportive, and helpful. There really is this sense that we’re all here just playing off each other and creating something fun together. Making my player and his wiki page was lots of fun, and I really felt embraced right away. I put up my first media piece yesterday (link for shameless self-promotion), and while I had fun writing and researching it, as soon as I posted it I got the stage fright and I felt certain that no one would like it. Could not have been more wrong! I got kind comments (Thanks @Big Edd, @zeagle1, @"Netlandic", @124715, and all others not mentioned here by name!) and even requests to write similar articles, which I never would have expected. (I’ll try to come through on those!) It was such a great feeling to write something that people legitimately enjoyed reading. I am not by nature a writer, so to have that little bit of inspiration and then see it resonating with other people was awesome. Without the ISFL maybe I never would have experienced that!
The most helpful people so far have been the scouts from the DSFL teams that have reached out to me ahead of the draft. I won’t tag them so I don’t tip any team's draft hand, but those people and the guys I visited with in the Discord locker rooms know who they are. They were all very kind and welcoming, and had great answers to all my questions. And it’s such a cool feeling to be scouted, knowing that people really value who you are and what you can do, and tell you that they want you to be a part of their organization. I’m looking forward to the Prospect Bowl coming up and I hope I give a good account of myself for those teams that will be watching! After that, I can’t wait to hear my name called on draft night, and I can promise that whoever chooses to draft me will not regret it!
