The Yellowknife Wraiths are on a little bit of a hot streak right now when it comes to appearances in the playoffs. We've made the playoffs three seasons in a row now and have even made it to the Conference Championship game. Unfortunately that Ultimus game has eluded us a bit, but we're still taking steps forward and hopefully will be able to appear in the big game. Still, its important to remain humble and focused on the days ahead, otherwise you may get yourself into trouble and become overconfident. For the Wraiths, we ensure that folks remain disciplined by holding everyone accountable when they make a mistake. Whether its one of the star players or one of the free agents just trying to hold onto a spot on the roster, if you mess up you will be called out on and punished accordingly. Fumble in a big spot? Benched. Take a bad penalty? Benched. Take the last donut in the break room? Benched.

In Baltimore, it was very well known that it was going to be a hard season, a tanking one if you will. With that in the forefront of our mind, there was not much talk of a strategy to implement to make us play better and in control of ourselves. The team just wanted all players to go out on the field, do their best to show off as to why Baltimore will be a threat in the future, and play well for their teammates around them to at least keep scores respectable and promising. 

Well....after 7 weeks and being 2nd in the conference, it seems not only has Baltimore kept their behaviour in check, but the technique of playing without fear, repercussions and for the guy standing next to you, has become a potent mental game in the success of a team slated for a top 2 draft pick. If this keeps up, it may not be a surprise to see a tanking team make a playoffs run, built on poise, control, and mate ship.

Frustration definitely is a part of the game and something that gets to all of us. I would love to say that the way we control frustration in the game is to simply just not lose, but unfortunately that is not the case. From a coach's perspective, we always have to keep an eye out for escalating emotions and be sure to pull players from the game that are letting their emotions get the best of them. From an individual perspective, I always try to keep a lighthearted approach and not engage with the opposing team after the play. Most penalties after the play tend to come from retaliation often continue to escalate after that. As an incentive for players to keep their cool during the game, we also treat the players to an ice cream party after each game if they are able to successfully make it through the game without any unsportsmanlike penalties.

Mental and emotional discipline is a key to succeeding in the International Simulation Football League, or indeed in any sport or in life in general. Many players come into the league with hangups and other unresolved issues in their past that can create struggles in maintaining emotional discipline during the tense high-pressure moments that come up frequently in games. Understanding and working towards resolving these issues is always a priority for the Orange County Otters so that players (and coaches!) can maintain their composure and avoid frustration that can lead to blown coverages, crucial penalties, or even ejections. To this end, the Otters new management that took over prior to the start of the 2052 season made efforts to encourage players to seek out professional mental health support and bringing in staff, like sports psychologists and other therapy specialists, to provide that support in-house. These efforts have been positively received by players and the result has been encouraging as the Otters have performed strongly in the highest pressure situations they have been faced with so far in the 2053 season.

How do you make a pig behave? When my girlfriend's cat wakes me up in the middle of the night I end up slipping her some food (don't tell Bunny, she doesn't know) because its the only way to get the cat to calm down. Getting Hogmolly to behave is very similar - slip him some slop or promise him you'll take him to Golden Corral to sample the fondue fountain and he'll be eating out of your hand. Some say that he cares more about the fondue fountain than he does winning an Ultimus, and for a pig who only has a few braincells and can only focus on one or two small concepts at a time that's a lot of advance thought. The treats are such a motivating factor for Hogmolly that he hasn't even needed to consider buying the role player trait - partially because its not great value in the build but mostly because Colorado is focused on fattening him up as a reward for good behavior.

Although the New York Silverbacks have seen a lot of success this season, things haven't always gone so smoothly. The last few seasons have seen quite a few ups and downs and the coaches tried a number of different strategies to keep the players engaged, focused, and calm. The results were varied, until one day something stuck. It immediately motivated the team and brought them all together. Players felt more united, were able to let go of a tough loss easier, and were ready to take on the challenge of the next game. That groundbreaking strategy? Making fun of cornerback Dax Dangerfield. Like, really laying into him. And as poorly as Dax had played the last few seasons he had no choice but to sit there and take it. This technique has not only helped recenter the team, it now seems to be paying dividends for Dangerfield himself. The cornerback is enjoying his best season in ages. And he credits it all to the vicious mockery he has received from his teammates.

Louis Blondin joue pour les Sabercats de San Jose et il est aussi directeur générale des Royals de Londres. Lorsqu’il est sur le terrain pour San José , il est très calme et poli.  Il médite avant chaque partie afin de s’assurer de bien concertrer ses émotions. Il porte une apple watch ultra. Sa montre monitore son rythme cardiaque. Elle vibre lorsqu’il dépasse 70 battements par minutes. Louis sait alors qu’il doit se calmer.  Il a appris ça dans le fin Hulk avec Edward Norton. Lorsqu’il n’est pas sur le jeu , Louis regarde des vidéos cute de  chaton. Ça l’aide à rester concentrer.  Louis se force a suivre ce difficile regiments parce qu’il il sait qu’il n’est pas bon sur le terrain lorsqu’il est faché.

Mais c’est tout le contraire qui se produit lorsqu’il agit comme directeur générale. Louis ne se gêne pas pour crier après les joueurs ! Il est même reconnu pour lancer des poubelles lors de la mi-temps. Il veut pousser afin que les joueurs donnennt leur maximum

The New Orleans Second Line are a very well-disciplined team. They have managed to avoid making too many dumb penalties this year thanks to really strong leadership within their locker room. They have several key players who set the tone in the locker room. On offense, Elessar Jones and The Stig set an example by being quiet and responsible off the field, but vocal presences on the field and in practice. Jones calls out his young receivers for running routes wrong or dropping passes. He corrects the linemen in practice when they mess up blocking schemes and assignments or when they have penalties or procedural errors. By not letting these things slide in practice, the team is conditioned to avoid these silly mistakes when it matters. On defense, they are led by veterans Sir Peter Jackson and Amari Springer. They preach sound tackling technique to their teammates. They are rarely in the wrong place because of this great communication and they don't get silly interference or unnecessary roughness penalties.

Mainly in Baltimore with having such a young roster for us to have success we really rely on our veterans to lead our team, when it comes to offensive miss plays from Preston there’s only one way to make sure it doesn’t happen again and that’s with some push-ups, as included in Robin’s contract so we like to make sure Preston is well taught with a misses opportunity comes punishment, on the defensive side we’ve been very well built so far and have been thought to breakdown most of that it’s due to the amazing mentality we’re getting from being in a rebuild stage but it’s all about having each other’s back on defence if you miss a tackle someone else will go get it for you, we have a very strong bond with our team mates and have been very well disciplined and taught by the coaching staff and the veterans who know there was around the league, this chemistry shown will only get better as we all grow
