8) Player Biography
Heinrich Kackpoo grew up on a farm in a little village in the northern part of austria. He never heard anything of american football until he turned thirteen. A school friend showed him some videos and that year he watched the superbowl for his first time. Although he hardly knew any rules of the game he was immediately fascinated and started to follow the league more and more. Over the next few years he learned the ins and outs of the game. But he never thought of playing himself.
Until one day where he was riding on the busin the next nearest bigger city. There was an amateur football team located there and a guy on the buswas handing out flyers to the people about a try out for the local football team. Heinrich was not sure what to do but ey, trying it won't hurt, yeah? His parents had mixed feelings about this and tried to convinve him that football was not the right sport for him but he insisted.
The day of the try outs came. The team had prepared a combine-like environment and Heinrich tried his best to impress the coaches. He felt he could have done a bit better but all in all he was pretty confident with his performance there.
The coaches were pleased themselves with Heinrich and offered a spot on their practice squad. From that time on this was passion. After school he would either go to training or the fitness studio lifting wheights. After a year the coaches gave him a chance and placed him on the roster. In his first game he was terribly nervous and a little scared as the other players where mostly quite a bit older than himself. With every game he played he got more and more confident in his abilities and at the end of the season he was one of the most outstanding players on the team.
After he finished school he applied at many universities in the usa to eventually get a chance to make it to the big leagues. The competition was big and he knew he had little chance but this was his only chance to play football professionally. He was denied at the better football programs but then he got the chance to play for a small college. There in his first year he immediately played himself into the spotlight and with his first season over scouts from everywhere in the country wanted to get this future star on their team. Heinrich shook his head and declared his elegibility for the DSFL draft after only one season of college football.
9) hat keeps me interested in the league
For me there is not one major thing that keeps me interested in the league. Sure, i want to win. Yes, i want to get awards and eventually be inducted to the hall of fame. Who is not dreaming of that? But to reach that goal you have to invest time, passion and a lot of patience. There will be times where the team is struggling. Hell i know what i am talking about. This year Heinrich played his fourth season and it was a horrible one. His individual stats where not bad but a bit underwhelming for a player of his potential. The sim luck definitely was not on his side. And sadly it was not on the side of the Honolulu Hahalua. But interestingly this is one major reason that keeps me interested. I want the Hahalua to get better. I want to make it to the playoffs with this team. I want to be on the roster when we eventually make it to the post season for the first time.
Another big reason that keeps me interested is the drama. Yeah often you get a bit fired up and that is ok. Many people invest huge amounts of time and work in this sim league. They are passionate about it. And everytime where passionate people meet each other and compete there will be discussions and fights. Yes, there are trolls and toxic people around also, but I honestly enjoy standing by and watch escalations. You can judge me by that if you want, I don’t care. I am the type of guy that enjoys people getting their mouths full.
What also is a big factor is that I am currently holding a league job. I got the opportunity to try myself at banking. I feel that as little responsibility as it is, I still want to do it the best way I possibly can and btw, I hate producing media to afford tier 6 equipment every season. So being paid helps a lot to keep my frustration level as low as possible.
The last thing that keeps me interested is the amazing war room discussions. The people really want to do things right, make the right decisions for the betterment of the team. Often there are hickups and rocks in our way. Often you get a feeling of frustration when the plan you tried to follow simply doesn’t work, but hey! That’s life. Get used to it!
