Hello!
I thought in lieu of going through the same list of questions for each team privately (although I have still spoken to many of you already), I'd lay out some basic ethos' I have for achievements I wish to attain in the league and my attitude in doing so. So that any team interested can check this out, and get an idea of what they're getting if they draft me. I'll be pretty honest in this as I want to land somewhere that's a good fit!
First off, I'll address the big one which is Position:
I'm a Linebacker! Though I started a tight end, before even my first update, once I'd got used to the league a little more, I realised playing defence aligns best with my career goals. Now recently I've informed some people that I intend to change to CB for the draft, however this isn't an option until the Offseason. I was initially changing earlier to minimise my TPE penalty, but now this comes with some pros as well as cons. The pro is I'm flexible to swap to just about anywhere on the defence or even offensive should that turn out to be a need at draft time. My positional preference for my ISFL career is Cornerback, Safety & Linebacker. I'll happily play any of those, but I will not be changing mid career in the ISFL, as I want to compete in stat categories long term. So basically draft me as whatever you want, but that's what I'm playing once I'm there!
Player Goals:
You might think it's pretty weird to not really care which defensive position I play. You'd probably be right! I am motivated almost solely to attain team achievements. That means winning rings, as a team. I don't expect to immediately join a winning culture, and my main interest actually lies in the strategy & community building required to develop into said winning culture! Because of this, I only wish to act as a defensive anchor on my team, and while I intend to hopefully chase some stat records, the overwhelming priority is on locking down a defensive position long-term for my ISFL team, so that we can expend draft picks & resources elsewhere on the field.
War Rooms:
This all more or less feeds in to my primary interest, and somewhat of a requirement for the team looking to draft me. I am not so interested in being a fringe player or a silent contributor to a team. My priority interest is team building & strategy, and as such I'll be keen to enter the war room as quick as possible of whichever teams chooses to draft me! I want to enter a friendly, welcoming environment that understands that team cohesion is the #1 element to achieve glory in the league too. I am probably more competitively minded than many in the league, but I don't think success comes only though immediate victories. Having said that, teams with a strictly purely casual / unfocused environments probably aren't a good fit for me, it sounds blunt to say, but if I was part of a team that visibly didn't really care about developing forwards, I wouldn't hesitate to ask for a trade.
I've already had some great chats, and have a rough idea of the two or so teams that are leading the way for my preferred landing spots, but I'll leave that out of here for now in the interest of a level playing field. If anyone wants to know any more just hit me up via Discord!
