8. With awards season upon us, make up an award for your player win for something not on the football field?
Will Stern could very much win a “most traveled” player award. Every offseason, he takes time to travel to about a few different destinations that seem interesting to him, he takes about 2 weeks in each place. Being from WA, he also has to travel quite a distance to get back home after every game so he can rest up before his next matchup. He very much hates airplane flights as he does not like the elevation change, it’s not good for his mind or ears. Despite that, he suffers through it in order to travel to places he’s always wanted to see. He visits Europe a lot, and also places in South America and Australia, as well as parts of East Asia. He mainly does this for fun and to see unique & ancient landmarks. He also generally sticks to warmer and drier places, as he gets tired of the cold wet rain in Washington State. This helps him work on his conditioning during the offseason, so when it gets hot in the fall it’s not new to him at all, and he’s able to be in 100% shape. When he’s not traveling, he’s usually just bored at home with his family. Traveling gives him something to do instead of just staying inside doing nothing all day. It can be expensive for him sometimes, so he makes sure to always grab the cheapest options if possible for flights and hotels. If you add on all of his offseason traveling to what he has to do in the regular season, it isn’t measurable, he’s lost track of how many times he’s had to take a flight to get somewhere. Will Stern most likely plans to settle down once he starts hitting his older years in the league, as he’ll probably get too tired with training to do as much traveling as before. He’s making the most of what he can do now to win that award.

27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?
The ISFL team with the best branding is the Orange County Otters. I love the Orange & Otters alliteration, it makes a ton of sense, I just feel like Otters and Orange go well together also. It’s a very unique brand as well, and everyone likes otters. A team that could use a refresh on their branding are the New Orleans Secondline. The Fleur de lis logo with the purple is cool, I have to admit. I just think there could be better team names than Second Line. I’m not a band person so it just doesn’t click with me either. Personally, I would keep the logo similar to what it is (change the band part on the top half and the second line name) and I’d keep the colors, but I would change the team names. A possible other team name would be the New Orleans Jazz, I think that would be super cool. And that would help stick with the music brand.
