(S3) - Weekend PT #1 - Off-Season

[ElMachoNacho]

I'm not a rookie anymore. A season is in the books and I can say that I've learned quite a few things. I've learned the joy of wins, the pain of losses, the feeling on an NSFL linebacker burying you in the ground, the feeling of betrayal as a teammate leaves for another squad. In Year 2 I feel as if I have a different mindset than Year 1. In Year 1 I was a rookie happy to just be a part of the team and say idly as things went haywire for us. This year I want to contribute. I want to help this team, and to do that I need to prepare. My pops always said that "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity" , so I've been hard at work, early mornings in the weight room, late nights in the film room. I'm preparing, so when I do get that opportunity, I can show the NSFL what I can do. I want to show that I'm the best back in the NSFL. I want to show that the SabreCats aren't a doormat, that this team has real talent. That's what I've REALLY been doing in the off-season. All anyone wants to talk about is my off-field incident this off-season with the Wraiths, but nobody ever talks about the football aspect of my life. But that's how I like it. I like having a chip on my shoulder. I like having doubters and critics. I like being counted out, because that's been done to me my entire life.
