(S41) PT #5 - The Final Stretch

[JuOSu]

What a season it has been. To go from how bad this team was in the last three years to now potentially being the number 1 seed in the league, what a ride. And I mean of course this team is great, it has Maxwell Jacob Friedman on it. Not only am I the best football player, I am also the best wrestler. Wrestling does elevate my game, cause it's a nice work out and you stretch and get those muscles pumping. Fighting for the AEW Championship is just a precursor to hopefully fighting for the Ultimus trophy in the ISFL cause Honolulu is gonna get there baby cause they have MJF, the best linebacker in the league, granted Caleb Hayden on my own team is probably better than me, but no one else. We got this. And I just got a bit quicker and a bit stronger in my update so now it will be even better.

So what does Laszlo Forty Two of Berlin do to get more out of his player with play offs fast approaching? Bugger all that is different. Every game is the same, you should be digging deep from game 1. Now having the consistency is important part. He personally does not care about play offs but Berlin and Dewalt have that as a goal so why not help the best General Manager in terms of friendliest and respect for as long as possible.

Ig Dewalt says gun the play offs that is what we will have to try and do. If Dewalt says eat an entire tube of pringles, we should be asking what flavour.

I personally could not give two shits about the bad sim engine or success or stats. Hopefully my player is decent or at least helping and the future looks bright for the team. So to answer the question, bugger all. Just carry on as normal really.

At this point after the refs pretty much tried to sink us in the first 7 games of the season the Outlaws have taken matters into their own hands in an attempt to get this team to where it SHOULD be at this point in the season. How is that? Where is that?

Where is at the top of the division - maybe not 1st place at this point - but sure as hell don't belong at the bottom.
How? They have started to all par take in a team mandated 'special drink' and have been getting regular injections of 'winning formula' - now the other teams will tell you that this stuff should be tested - they are just jealous they haven't been able to have this winning formula injected straight into their veins. How was this created? Well when the Outlaws were busy dunking on the nerds and winning titles they extracted that winning flavour - distilled it and created a substance that they could use in a time of need. Patent pending - team secrets.

Burnt Toast is preparing for the end of the season by bulking up however he can. He thinks he can be a more effective tight end if he puts on some extra weight and tries to contribute more to blocking his opponents and allowing the offense to perform however they want. He also knows by the time he reports to Berlin they're going to be expecting him to be ready to go for whatever plans they may have for him so it's going to be important to make sure that he shows up the correct weight to handle whatever position they want him in. Of course the most important thing is to be ready to contribute to Bondi Beach's run for another championship but then it'll be all eyes on his ISFL aspirations. There is still a bit of time before the post-season is here though so just making sure to hit the gym and use those calories effectively is Toast's goals.

Learning from Derrick Prince and Erwin Kemp, Knight has made good progress throughout the season, but now he has to hammer down everything he's learned. Cape Town is making it into the playoffs, and he needs to be at the top of his game. Eating right, training hard and even learning a bit of meditation, Kairo Knight plans to keep his body in the best possible shape it can be in.

So far this season, Benjamin Duvernay has not been satisfied with his performance throughout the year. He felt that he has taken a step back this season in terms of his statistical production even though he is often having games with less targets than ever before. In order to make the playoffs, Duvernay knew he needed to improve his game in terms of playmaking rather than just focusing on shutdown coverage. Down the stretch of the season, Duvernay has been focusing more on his hands and making plays on the ball for interceptions. Even while at home, Duvernay has using wet bars of soap to help with his grip and ability to prevent the ball from slipping out of his hands. Duvernay has also been working on his tackling technique making sure that he targets the ball while tackling. While pushing for the playoffs, Duvernay is banking on these different training techniques to help him be the difference maker that he was drafted to be in the Pythons' secondary.

Unfortunately, the Bondi Beach Buccaneers are below .500, so it has been a below par season coming off the Ultimini victory.  At this point, I am ready to be called up to the pros and compete at the next level. I have been a bit more involved in the offense this year, but it is my time to move on. At this point in the season, I have 999 rushing yards, with puts me in 2nd overall in the DSFL and 10 rushing touchdowns, 1st overall in the DSFL. As well, I have been involved in the passing game, having caught 16 passes for 123 yards. I am currently on pace to break my stat threshold from last season, which is exciting regardless of the teams record. Overall, I am looking forward to what is next. A new opportunity to shine and continue to build my player to take over at the next level.

Being a finely tuned athlete is no easy task and at the end of a long season, it only gets more difficult. As a veteran, I've learned how to manage and ramp up to make sure I'm ready for the playoffs. There's a few secrets to success that work for me and I'm hesitant to share as then the whole league will know. But, since I'm desperate for TPE to sustain my pitiful career, I guess I can share. The first thing I do is watch game tape and review. Nothing better than a strong mind. I'll review previous games, studying opponents' strengths and weaknesses, analyzing their own performance, and identifying areas for improvement. This analysis helps in developing game plans and strategies for the playoffs. Another thing to focus on is maintaining my physical fitness. The regular season is one thing, but the playoffs are a whole other beast. Adequate rest and recovery are crucial to avoid injuries and maintain optimal performance. I ensure that I get sufficient sleep, follow proper nutrition, and engage in active recovery techniques like stretching, massage, and ice baths.

Oh don't worry, Bruce is under no impression that the New Orleans Second Line has a chance to make it into the playoffs. That shipped sailed a long, long time ago. He DOES understand, however, that New Orleans is in the process of a rebuild. One that he is right at the center of and he's doing everything in his power to prepare for the playoffs as we speak. Not THIS playoffs, but all of the rest of them. He's lifting more, running farther, and eating all the right things (outside of beignets) to prepare for the upcoming dynasty that this new, young core of New Orleans is about to bring to the ISFL. Only those who are short-sighted and illogical would prepare for one single playoff run. 

No, Bruce and his teammates are preparing in the depths of hell that is the Louisiana swamps for the years and years of pain they're about to inflict on the league in the coming years.

In a last ditch attempt to get himself into peak performance for the DSFL playoffs, Aleksandar is going all in on the training with the positional coaches in Kansas City. He’s faster than a speeding bullet and stronger than Joe Theismann’s leg but his pass rush technique is still incredibly flawed and needs a ton of work to really get into peak form. He has nine sacks on the year but with the current leader having ten he’s desperate to catch up. The main drill he’s doing is the three cone to try and improve his side to side movement because he can bull rush effectively but swim moves leave a lot to be desired which offensive linemen are currently taking advantage of to slow him down from getting to the backfield. The other coach he’s working with is the team psychiatrist to focus on his anger and mental aggression issues on the field to cut down on the penalties and keep him focused on the game itself.
