Success to me is only measured in two ways. First, what your team accomplishes and second, the friends you make along the way. For me, achieving a championship is the ultimate thing you can do in any team sport. It takes effort from so many to get there and I don't believe there is a better feeling in the world than having success as a large group. Knowing that you all had one goal in mind and were able to accomplish that goal is the pinnacle of anything in life. It is just better and means more when you have others to share it with.
Making friends and building relationships goes hand in hand with my definition of success. I may be the best player ever stats wise, and may have 5 rings but what does it matter if everyone in the league hates me and when I step away from the league I have nothing tangible to show for it. Virtual championships are just that, virtual they don't mean anything outside the context of this small community. However, making friends can be long lasting and impact our lives far more than any bit of code producing a win could bring. This league has introduced me to so many wonderful people and I know more will join. The friendships and camaraderie we can all build as part of this community is truly what the definition of success is for the ISFL.
