James Bishop tries to keep his mind occupied throughout the trip from place to place. Road games are generally grueling especially when you have two games close together in time but far apart in distance. Sleep is something he will try to keep up on as you can never get too much of that. Plus, what else are you supposed to do on an 8 hour flight to yellowknife? Shorter flights he might listen to music or watch a movie. James enjoys the classic movie from the 80’s like “Plane, Trains, and Automobiles”, “The Blues Brothers”, and “Ghostbusters” to name a few. The key is relaxing. When off the plane he is working and training all the time, rushing from here to there always going. This allows him some much needed downtime and the rest that is necessary to function when he isn't in the game. On the field he is running all over the place making sure he gets open for Micycle or attempting a pick or block for Miller and L’Alto. In the weight room he is getting the all important cardio and reps in to build strength and speed. But on the plane, he rests. Good night James.

Code:

WRITTEN: Football teams have to travel, that is a given, from Orange County to Yellowknife to Baltimore, life is spent with long travel days. Write at least 200 words on how your player or your team pass the time while traveling (How are you riding, who are you interacting with, what are you doing, etc).

Sandy Bakshi may be the newest player on the Tijuana Luchadores, having just been claimed off of waivers, but he's no stranger to the football life and all the traveling, waiting, and more traveling that it entails. Sandy has earned a reputation as someone with incredible focus and a serious attitude, and he brings that with him as he travels. Studying the playbook and opposing offenses make up a good portion of his time traveling, but they often give way to a stranger hobby: Knitting. Sandy feels that this repetitive task, slowly working in parts toward a greater whole, helps him to focus on his assignments in a game working toward a win. He is someone who views his life in a holistic sense, his on-field performance and his everyday life aren't separate, but rather the two are melded together. He is a professional linebacker when he washes his dishes, and a regular guy when he blitzes the quarterback, and knitting helps him bridge the two. He also does it as a way to show his teammates that he's unafraid of criticism, if he can confidently knit on a bus or plane full of football players they can trust him to stick up for his teammates even after their worst mistakes. As for the items he knits? He either donates them to charity or hands them out to fans at games.

Mason Brown does one of the most unusual things for road games. Instead of taking the bus to the games or the plane he fuels up his cherry red 1968 Chevrolet SS Camaro and drives all the way to the game. It doesn’t matter where the game is at, it can be in Philly, Yellowknife, Baltimore, or even Orange County. It gives him time to mentally prepare for the game with out the chaos of the bus and plane. He plays the opposing quarterback’s cadence over and over on his Air Pods so he will not be caught offsides and will have a jump on the offensive linemen to get to the quarterback or a jump on the tight end to cover his route and knock the ball out of the air and seldomly pick it off. It also helps Mason get rid of the nerves of the game. He has done it for every game since he was in college and doesn’t plan to stop it since it most always leads to success. He had won 2 State Championships, 1 Bowl Game, 2 National Championships, 1 Ultimini, and 1 Ultimus doing this and has a record over .500. He dreads the day when the miles catch up with his baby, but until that happens you will always see Mason pulling into the Stadium in his cherry red Camaro.
