Roy’s form had been on fire, after a memorable DPOTW and surely season-long top five performance on week two, where he recorded eleven tackles, one sack, and one game-turning, spectacular, safety. Roy then proceeded to a week three and four very solid (and week three DPOTW) performances with seven tackles, one strip-sack, and ten tackles and two sacks, respectively. Week five was another great DPOTW performance with eight tackles and two sacks.
Life was going good.
However, Roy noticed he was becoming too self-involved, too dependent on his individual performances to massage his own ego and to feel like he was valuable. He was too insecure because of his position change to linebacker, he felt he had to make great performances every time.
Since the beginning, he felt the support of his teammates, but he was not doing the same to his own teammates. That’s when he stopped to self-evaluate, and started cheering for his teammates first and foremost. That’s when he changed, from a good player with some great performances, to a great team player, in a team sport.
This was possible because Bondi Beach had such a great environment, with great GMs, coaches and players. That’s what made this team special.
