I think the definition of success in the ISFL depends on the person, the team, and the position held for each person. For example, a GM’s success can be measured by players and other non-GMS by winning percentage and championships. However, I bet you if you ask a GM how they measures their success, most of them will tell you, especially the DSFL GMs, that they measure their success on setting their current players up for future success in the ISFL. Whether that is by encouraging them to stay active, talking them off the ledge after a bad season or just being there to listen to us bitch and moan about a particularly bad game or season. That being said, Im sure some of the more successful franchises and their GM’s correlate success to wins and championship games. Sometimes its just about getting to the ship, or like OCO’s case having an ungodly claim to fame like going to what 23 consecutive post seasons in the ISFL, a record that will be nearly impossible for any team to surpass. Its just a crazy number.
Now when It comes to some players, I know winning awards is everything to them. If their team had a bad season, they can still feel good about that season if they successfully take home an award. For me, individual accomplishments are nice, but they play second fiddle to wins and playoffs. Since going 5-1 last year with the Royals to start the season, We have gone 3-15. 2-6 to finish last season, and 1-9 this season with 4 weeks to go. I personally hate to lose, but as the offensive captain of the Royals, I try not to get too high when we win or too low when we lose, which has been a lot lately. Sometimes though, I just like to shoulder to blame of these L’s. My teammates and GM’s will tell me 100% of the time its not my fault, we win as a team we lose as a team, but I still feel like that’s my job to accept that burden and congratulate my teammates on a successful game, regardless of how I play. Don’t get me wrong when I have a good game, and we get a win, those are the best times to be in the locker room. The moods different and everyone gets hype and its a good time. Unfortunately, we haven’t had that kind of success very much in my tenure. All I can tell you though, is there is no quit. We will rise up again and start winning some games. I just hope its while Im here throwing the pigskin to my boys @danieldbook, @Donkey, @nhlbeastmode_7777, @Dolphins, @SaviorHawkins,@Tension, @HuddleHussy & @TheCHEESE . These dudes deserve to go down as winners in the DSFL. I’ve made it my mission, to make sure they do. They might not consider wins as their model for success, but a lot of others do, and I want to help make sure they are looked at as winners, and champions before our time is through in London, because they are champions. Day in and Day out. Guys, next season….if you’re all still here, things will be different. Mark my words. Got love for you and all the Royals.
