(S41) PT #1 - Off-season Memories

[Jumbo]

Written option: 

So this all happened so fast. Last season playing for London in DSFL, get drafted to New York Silverbacks in ISFL, and get called up immediately. So I had to put in so much work in the offseason to be ready for the jump. I hit the gym almost everyday or I was at the complex training with my Personal Trainer. I worked on my speed and footwork while also putting on as much muscle as possible. I know I had to get stronger to go up against the leagues best. I also hit the books, trying to learn the playbook. I also watched a lot of film in preparation for the season. I just wanted to go all out and train harder than I ever have to be ready. I did not want to let the team down or be a liability on defense at such a key position. I did however enjoy a 3 day Celebration after the draft in Hawaii with my wife.

As one would probably expect, the off-season for Clint Mustache was probably just a tad different than that of his teammates (or anyone else in the league, for that matter). Clint, loving the theatre as he does, auditioned for a role in a local production (his home town, not Berlin) of a the 1986 rock musical  smash hit, Little Shop of Horrors. Obviously, as any aspiring star would, Clint had his heart set on the role of the main character Seymour Krelborn (in the movie played by Rick Moranis). He didn’t quite destroy the audition like he wanted, but happily accept the offer to play eccentric dentist, Orin Scrivello (in the movie played by the incomparable Steve Martin). It was a bit out of character for Clint to play the leather-clad and laughing gas addict, but in the end, isn’t that the point of acting? The local paper raved about the production, and Clint found himself the star of a viral tiktok from one of his performances. Unfortunately, that tiktok proceeded to play on loop in the locker room for the first week of pre-season camp.

During the offseason, Frank Dux did a lot of different things to keep himself preoccupied, happy, and in shape. Firstly, he bought a new home with his new contract and bonus money from the Chicago Butchers. So he spent plenty of time picking it out and making sure it was the right fit for him and his family. Secondly, he got a second dog to keep his current dog happy. He vlogged the whole process and donated to several shelters around Chicago while looking to make sure they had everything they needed to stay ahead of being operational for the entire rest of the year. After adopting his second pup, he spent a lot of time being a dog dad and getting the two pups acquainted. After the whole dog process, Frank got back into his training regiment and preparing for his first season as a starter for the Chicago Butchers. He also led a players only training camp to bond and prepare for the season.

Lloyd had a busy offseason this year, after not making the playoffs, he had a long time to think about his lackluster performance to finish the year, giving the luchas the number 2 overall pick. Lloyd started off the season with some training with his favorite receiver (Benji Aguilera) from the past season to get on a better page with him to help the offense be more consistent and take the next step. Lloyd also visited his friends from the police academy in Crossbell, and visited some of his friends from the force when he was in the academy. The police academy also had Lloyd make a guest appearance and talk about how his experience there has helped him become the person he is now. After the visit to Crossbell, Lloyd ended up just relaxing for the most part until mini-camp came around. Overall Lloyd feels much improved from this offseason and is ready to take the next step to lead Tijuana to the promised land.

This off-season started with a lot of draft prep on my part. The Birddogs were kind enough to let me make use of the weight room and training facilities to try to get as much of an edge as I could before the combine, and I really think it paid off. Someone in Cape Town thought so too, because I was one of the first OL off the board. Once I knew where my new home was, I made it a priority to go on a little mini vacation to Cape Town to meet the staff and scout out possible living situations.

South Africa was beautiful, and the people were so vibrant and welcoming. It never ceases to amaze me, the support that American football has overseas in this league and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to represent this awesome community on the field. I returned to Dallas after a three week stay in Cape Town to begin training camp for my second DSFL season before hopefully making the permanent move to Cape Town next year.
