Asher's "welcome to the league" occurred when he went to the playoffs his waiver season and just got DOMINATED. Even though he was playing well before and slowly getting better, he just... sucked during playoffs. The change in competition was something that made him rise to the occasion, not give in to the pressure. Having had Tyler, his brother, go through it just before him helped him know that it was just part of growing into a better player. Asher's transition from college to DSFL was harder than DSFL to ISFL in part because he had already been conditioned to push through the hardships and he had already been mentally conditioned to understand that he would have good games and bad games. Further, he knew that he could only contribute so much. By the time he was a rookie in the ISFL, he was used to games where he had no tackles to games where he had 5 tackles for loss. He just had to believe in himself and his teammates to pull their weight.
Asher's hardships only drive him forward. After going to two straight Ultiminis and losing, he is determined to make the next championship go his way regardless if his personal stats.
