200 Words: Written Option: We all know NSFL players have plenty of downtime when they aren’t lifting, practicing, watching film, and playing. The best way to wind down is a good video game. Talk about your players favorite game or games to unwind with, or who they play with.
I definitely use video games to wind down when I'm not on the field or in the weight room. These days I'm mostly playing Overwatch with some other friends I have across the league. Sometimes I'll dabble in competitive, but mostly I just want to screw around in quick play or the arcade as a way to unwind. I don't need to be hyper competitive off the field too. Also it doesn't help that I am stuck in ELO hell in Silver, but we don't have to talk about that.
Sometimes I will play a little Apex Legends, but I haven't jumped on that in a while. I was a bit disappointed in their battle pass, plus I'm kind of shit at battle royal / shooters in general these days. I usually play the healer so I can at least help my team in some way. I tried Fortnite but could never really get into it. Sometimes my friends from back home try to get me to play again but I largely resist joining them.
Otherwise I mostly play the NHL video game with my brother who plays in the SHL. We play on a digital team together and I am terrible at it, but it is fun to hang out with my bro. Sometimes I'll jump on Diablo 3 if I'm not feeling like playing with other people, or the classic Starcraft. I don't play much Black OPs, but I'm excited for the new Modern Warfare game.
Maybe I spend too much time playing video games...
