Like any regular season, there will be ups and downs that seem to be routine through every team. Most of the time, the downs can be mitigated or even outright resolved without much to do. However, sometimes, a major event can happen that has to be dealt with in a timely manner in the locker room. For NOLA, such a major event happened. Before the conclusion of the regular season, a fight broke out in the locker room due to frustration to how the season unfolded despite promise at the beginning of it. I was a bystander looking inward as a player, but I felt that I had to help ameliorate the situation. For my 2 fellow players, I brought them into a private room in the whole locker room and helped them calm down and hash out what either of them were mad about. It turns out that both players are cool with each other and that the fight was just an intense practice that spilled over due to frustration with how the season ended. So luckily, I was able to help the team and my teammates get through this event relatively with no trouble at all!
