(S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals

[Dextaria]

In a blink of an eye the season is half over and Beniri T'Chawama is not doing half bad. In his 4 regular season games with the Dallas Birddogs, he has helped the team to 2 wins, but also was there for 2 losses (apparently the Birddogs don't like to play at home). In the 4 games, T'Chawama has 48 attempts, 254 yards gained, and 2 touchdowns. This puts him at an average of 5.3 yards with his longest run at 18 yards. It's pretty clear that T'Chawama has to work on longer yardage to compete with the likes of Johns and Baker who have about 20 more attempts and 100 to 200 more yards gained. To do so, I would say Beniri has to work on his agility so he can quickly change directions and turn away from his opponents. Then once he has that up, being a little more competitive would not hurt either. Beniri has already worked a lot on his speed, strength, and endurance so far.

To improve on his agility and competitiveness, Beniri plans on working more closely with his coach and teammates to put in the practice on footwork and in-game experience. The latter makes scrimmages really important as T'Chawama is only in his first season in the DSFL so he needs that experience. Although, as for agility, his trainer has set aside 3 specialized practices a week to improve that in particular, with additional exercises and drills for Beniri to do on his own time. Let's just hope that the training for agility and competitiveness will come in time as the season closes to it's end.
