Training camp is always the time of year where rookies get a chance to shine before preseason, and it was no different for me. I was pretty excited to be there after having been called up from Bondi Beach. But I was still anxious to be seeing an ISFL field for the first time. New York’s locker room quickly calmed my nerves though. They were incredibly supportive my whole time at training camp, and pushed me to be the best player I could be. Training camp is kind of overrated honestly. It’s basically just really long practice for a month, and I hate practice. And it takes place right in the middle of Summer. One silver lining was getting to learn from Captain Rogers, a Silverbacks captain and a top running back. We even came up with some new plays. The quintuple option and our fake punt jet sweep spring to mind. At the end of the day, the best part about Training Camp is just hanging out with the teammates and getting to know them. Whether they’re a rookie or a veteran, it’s always fun to see what their personalities are and get to know them more. So that’s how silverbacks training camp went, all in all pretty uneventful and rather uninteresting.
