Reporter: Today, we’re excited to sit down with Rex Havoc, the promising new defensive lineman for the Honolulu Hahalua. Rex, thanks for joining us.
Rex Havoc: Thanks for having me, it’s great to be here!
Reporter: Rex, it's your first season in the ISFL. How has the transition been from college and the DSFL to now the top level in simulation football?
Rex Havoc: It’s been a big step up, no doubt. The speed of the game, the strength of the competition, and the overall intensity are on a whole different level. There have been many days after games that my whole body doesn't want to move haha, but I’ve embraced the challenge and I’m learning every day. Thankfully I have been with a great team and surrounded by amazing users that push me to continue to be the best I can.
Reporter: You’ve had some struggles this season with your stats being lower than expected. How have you been handling that?
Rex Havoc: It's definitely been tough at times. I came in with high expectations for myself, and not hitting those marks has been frustrating. But like I’ve said earlier, I got a great support system here in Honolulu. My teammates have been incredible, helping me stay focused and positive and just taking it one week at a time. Plus seeing the potential of this team and all the young players improving kept my morale very high as there will be championships coming in our near future.
Reporter: We’ve seen your performance improve as the season progressed. What do you attribute that improvement to?
Rex Havoc: A lot of it comes down to hard work and adapting to the professional game. I’ve been putting in extra hours studying film, working on my technique, and learning from the veterans on the team. Also, our defensive line coach has been fantastic in helping me refine my skills and understand my role better.
Reporter: What has been the most rewarding moment for you this season?
Rex Havoc: I’d say putting on the blue and gold for the first time and walking out on the field against Colorado was a pretty big highlight. It was a relief to finally get on the board, and it felt like a culmination of all the hard work and perseverance. Add on that I got my first tackle of my professional career that game makes it even greater.
Reporter: Looking ahead, what are your goals for the next season?
Rex Havoc: I’m focused on continuing to improve and becoming a more consistent player. I want to contribute more to our defense and help the team win games. I know I have the potential to make a significant impact, and that’s what I’m working towards. I also would love to get my first sack haha but can't rush things like that.
Reporter: Rex, it’s been great chatting with you. Best of luck with the rest of your season and your career with the Honolulu Hahalua.
Rex Havoc: Thanks, I appreciate it!
