(S38) PT 2 - Behavior Control

If you get a dumb penalty in Tijuana, expect to be running until your legs fall off. If you do something dumb off the field, that becomes an issue for the league and if necessary, the courts. Now, for Gucci Gurley, staying out of trouble is like the ABCs : it's so easy. Because when you're as big time as him, you have better things to do than get yourself in trouble. For example, you can train with your best friends like CMC'S Burner. As far as on the field mental mistakes go, that stems from conditioning and awareness. Luckily, Gucci Gurley went to Notre Dame and they instilled instantly how important it is to not screw over the team with a dumb penalty. He really took that message to heart and became a great leader and a captian for the Irish. Expect that to continue through the DSFL and into the ISFL.

It's been a long time since Arizona Outlaws needed to punish people for mistakes. Not losing since the middle of last season make it like that. But when needed Arizona GMs can be pretty harsh. They usually come to punish people on individual basis. Of course it starts with team leadership - Jay Cue Jr. and Wendell Sailor. For Cue they take away a bottle of wine for each fumble that he has, and there is nothing that Cue Jr. loves more than his wine, even his MVPs come second. And for each and every player there are similar punishments. Overall team punishments are rarely needed, cause team plays too good for it and tensions rarely get high in locker room. You can say that maybe numerous playoff fails and chokes left their scars, and now Outlaws are becoming morally invincible, so smaller things just bounce off of the team psyche. Cause what doesn't kill you makes you stronger or whatever.

So in order to keep everyone on the team happy and playing their best the team The outlaws bring in a dream meal every halftime to give the players something to look forward to. Each halftime when the players come into the locker room there is a buffet of all the fast food chains you could ever think of! Burgers, tacos, subs, anything and everything you could want. This helps make sure no one is hangry and they have the quick carbs they all need to complete at their best on the field. Though this isn't always enough sometimes when the game just isn't going your way you can get frustrated and look to take it out on the field. So in order to stop this we have a Guru on the bench. Maurice Pitka who helps players calm their nerves and get over their fears. He is best know for his work with Darren Roanoke who he was able to help get over his mental hurtle to win the Stanley Cup. So being on the sidelines of football games seems easy for him.

Written option: As much as we'd like to believe so, our players aren't perfect. With every win and loss, there's high emotions. With every game, there's mistakes that turn into flags and heartbreak. Every team's response to these kind of situations is different depending on the sort of discipline that team and their players have. For this PT, talk about what sort of strategies your team employs in order to keep everyone emotionally and mechanically disciplined. How do your teams get players to avoid making silly penalties or putting holes through the wall after a game?

The New York Silverbacks have created a new way and fresh way to ensure that the players on the team play a disciplined game and that they are ready and fit to play. That strategy is that anytime a Silverbacks player takes an on-field penalty, that player has to spend one minute in the cage with the Koko the gorilla, the New York Silverbacks real live gorilla (mascot). Needless to say, not many of the players have taken a penalty since that rule was implemented. It works most of the time. Obviously, there are times where this unique form of punishment has backfired. The team has lost 2 offensive tackles who did not survive the "monkey minute" as it is referred to playfully by the team. And yeah sure, the lawsuits were hefty and at times difficult for the team. However, the management team of New York believe that the ends justify the means if the end result is fewer penalties on the field. Job well done.

Thankfully, Yellowknife doesn't have to worry much about team morale after losses. On the rare occasion the Wraiths lose, it's more of a shocking disbelief than a begrudging anger at other teammates. So, instead of talking about how we keep our locker room positive after a loss, I'll mention more about how we maintain a humble atmosphere even when a game feels more like a scrimmage against the Bondi Beach Buccaneers. Due to the excellent leadership of our GMs, the Yellowknife Wraiths have instilled an extremely professional locker room environment that rivals the professional-est of all the professional organizations. They do a phenomenal job at getting every member of the team on the same page before each game and making sure that any emotional outbursts are controlled and don't spiral out of control. Even though emotions are a normal part of human reactions, they don't have to drive all of your decisions. A large majority of the time, an emotional response hurts others more than you intended.

Football is an emotional sport. The highest highs can be immediately followed by the lowest lows and it’s easy to let yourself get carried away. While this is not a massive issue when the team is fired up in a positive way, when your squad is down in the dumps it becomes a much bigger issue. In order to combat rapid mood swings then, the team has an on-call team of masseuses ready and waiting in-between quarters and over halftime. This is to relax players and also helps prevent injury.
Now you might be asking yourself, how do players get massages through their pads? That’s a great question, any others?
Moving on, there’s one masseuse per player and they are ready at all times on the sidelines and in the locker rooms they use a technique called Bullshiti Spaghetti that relaxes all muscles in the body at once, very quickly and efficiently.

Kansas City love to teach someone about their mistakes by making pay all the team. If a penalty a player took is judged to be unnecessary by the GMs and coaches, on the next practice or scrimmage, the player at fault need to check his teammate do extra cardio exercises like push-up or squat, while the coaching staff are shouting with a little bell SHAME!... SHAME!... SHAME! The goal of this punishment, is to made aware the player at fault that his unnecessary penalty made not only his team to work more on the field to catch-up these yards that the penalty cost, but also made them work more off the field after an hard practice, your team that just want to go home and rest. If being the cause of your teammates extra workout isn't enough, you also have to pay the next meal of the entire team next time you hit the road for a game... yes these linemen eat a lot.

Well I guess this leauge already understands that I Tony Demonson has emotional lost it a few times making some bad media decisions in his past, he has mostly been quite since his payday where he got what he in his mind knows he deserves going off and quoting some Connor McGregor highlight quote, well the gm of Philadelphia liberty has done a terrific job of holding Demonson together but on this latest losing streak Demonson has been seen going too the Gms office than punching a hole in the wall later on in the day we hope this doesnt lead too anything but Demonson definitely knows he is getting older in the league it helped winning the WFC championship but Demonson really wants a shot at a ulimti championship and wont stop until he gets there or his legs give out sometimes making demands is the only way he will get there so we hope it is able too happen

Here in Portland, we're known for a lot of things. Victory, sex appeal and countless other things associated with winning. Often times people can't even say the word Python without coughing out the words - "da best". However, on very cold, very dark days we've unbelievably experienced a loss. Thus, the trying times start. Typically, we'll begin the loss by getting screamed at for our failures, and without changing out, be led into the film room to be shown our disgrace in third person. After shutting the lights off we'll change out in the dark. We go home to our families and receive the only love and support we'll know for the next 5 days. Last time I tried to drive into the stadium for practice, they revoked my parking pass. So, I had to park at the Home Depot a few blocks away and walk to the building. Needless to say, the team has a culture of fear that dominates the locker room, and uses it to control the players like we're the Nazgûl.

The Butchers only have one strategy for keeping our emotional and mechanical discipline and that is harsh punishment. As the defensive captain of the team, I see too it personally that for every penalty or mistake that is made in practice or in a game that player will pay dearly for it. My punishments put Coach Boones from Remember The Titans to shame. He famously said "you drop a pass, you run a mile. You miss a blocking assignment, you run a mile. You fumble the football, and I will break my foot off in your..." well, not only will you be running a mile if you do any of those things, you will also have to pay a hefty fine into the Charity bank (to hit our players in the pockets). The twist that I put on my punishment, though, to make sure that our players stay emotionally and mechanically disciplined is that I make them run something like the "milk jug mile". Every penalty or missed assignment a player has they have to chug a glass of milk before their mile, turnovers are a half gallon, and anything I think is worse gets the full gallon. After one or two runs our players often realize it is better to do things the right way than puke milk allover themselves.
