Following Myrtle Beach's heart breaking loss in the Ultimini last season, I swore to never play a game sober again since that's what I attribute our loss to. First, I want you all to know that I have kept that promise. However, there is always room for improvement. That is one of the life lessons I have taken to heart over the last few year. If you’re not constantly improving, you’re going to fall behind. And as we’ve been practicing our social distancing and self-isolating to help slow the spread of this new virus, I’ve had plenty of time to think and reflect on how I can improve myself while still keeping my promises to the fans. I’m questioning whether rum is really the right drink to be using to achieve my highest potential on the field. Perhaps the rum in the mixed drinks I serve pregame from my minibar have been the reason the Liberty have struggled so much this season. What if we used vodka instead? Or maybe gin? Or what if we skipped the mixed drinks altogether and just chugged whiskey before games? The possibilities are really endless and it’s difficult to know what the right choice is. Do we stick with the familiar or take a leap of faith? I’ve gotten a small sample of players to work with me to test some theories, but I’m hopeful that we can improve ourselves and make Philly a force to be reckoned with next season.
