Bob Kronkowski is a man of many talents. While others will gallivant around relaxing, or maybe hitting the weight room, Kronk is focusing on the most important thing...nutrition. Nutrition is the one thing which controls health for everyone, athlete or otherwise. Therefore, Kronk focuses on his cooking skills. He even moonlights at a local restaurant as a fill-in chef (free of charge), as cooking is an art. He often will misunderstand ingredients, however, which causes confusion in the kitchen as he repeats himself. Once he locks in, though, he is one of the most competent chefs alive. Additionally, he is also a Scoutmaster in his spare time. He focuses on animal relations, specifically with squirrels. He has spent so much time around them that he has gained a limited ability to communicate with them. He has started to teach this ability to the local youth in the area (he does not have a child). Overall, Kronkowski is definitely satisfied with his offseason.
This offseason, Klaus was focused on his ISFL debut. After maxing out on his TPE for the DFSL, Klaus knew the only path was up from there. Over the offseason, Klaus wanted to focus on being a more versatile player. Klaus has always been a gym rat with his friend and teammate Hildebrand @nunccoepi, but he saw the need to get faster and build his endurance to match with the future of what the defensive line has to throw at him. But Klaus also took some time to spend with his family over the offseason break. They spent a lot of it in the Florida Keys, scuba diving, fishing, and just good old spending time on the beach. Klaus knows that this is going to be a very busy season with a lot of potential, so he wanted to make sure that he got to spend as much time as he could with his family and friends before getting ready for the grind of the ISFL season.
Mac Mannheim is the epitome of dichotomy over the off-season. Without football at the forefront of his focus, Mannheim requires a delicate balance to keep him centred, disciplined and just generally sane.
Mannheim's love of football comes down to two things: the mental calmness and processing required to be a student of the game, and the ferocious competitiveness needed to succeed at the top. In order to get this balance right over the off-season, Mannheim implements two separate practices to satisfy these requirements: First of all, Mac is a lover of golf, and finds time on the course and the technical focus of the game a key way to keep his mind sharp and centred. He also finds it helps his temperament, allowing him to reset, stay calm and focus on execution even when things aren't going his way. Secondly, Mannheim is a machine in the gym, working closely with the teams strength and conditioning teams throughout the focus. Mac works with a high intensity workout regimen, training to failure on almost every set in order to keep him explosive and fatigue resistant, ready for the football season at any moment.
Cyrus MacDougall totally ignored workouts, playbook work, etc. and instead went right back into his life of crime and unrest. Determined to regain his place as the king of Sunnyvale Trailer Park, Cyrus again began dealing in illicit substances, threatening any who dare challenge him with his classic 9MM pistol (safety always off). In one instance, things got super heated, as one of his noted adversaries, Ricky, decided to talk trash about Cyrus's team, the Minnesota Grey Ducks. Ricky stated that it isn't "rocket appliances" that the Ducks would regress with Cyrus at the helm, which led to a fist fight right outside the park supervisor's trailer. Only Randy, the assistant trailer park supervisor, was able to break up the fight, getting between the two with his enormous cheeseburger-filled gut. Through the offseason it became extremely clear that MacDougall's promising football career would be consistently jeopardized by his off-field antics and draw to a life of crime.

I was sleeping, and eating, and more sleeping, and eating, and bathing, and sleeping and more bathing. It was a difficult time waiting for S50 to begin. I really needed someone to save me from my own sad existence. A shiny virtuous knight to take me from this dark castle of dispair would have been a significant help. But can you imagine all how difficult it is to maintain a positive happy attitude when there is no football to be had. not a single touchdown, sack, or penalty. i would have given anything just to hear a false start whistle. this was how low in depression I was. watching the clock tick each second away while I achieved nothing but the basic survival necessities. the majority of the blame for this funk I was in wasn't even the lack of football. it was more to do with how much weaker I have gotten in age. i can feel the end coming for me.
My player is Darius Fasttrack. He is a wide receiver for the Dallas Birddogs. Darius stayed active for the offseason. He purchased a campsite at Jellystone Park and spent his time fixing up his campsite and bought his own camper. Darius loves the outdoors and this was a perfect way to embrace the outside world in a way that could bring solace.
As a sidenote, this was a perfect place to be able to reminisce about my childhood as we would often camp on the weekends at our trailer at Jellystone Park. This began when i was only 3 years old. We spent many nights building a campfire and camping around the campfire. When we started out, we had a tent and a pop-up trailer. As our family became more independent, we bought a 25' trailer and we spent many weekends at the trailer just getting away from all the busyness of life and embracing the quiet outdoors. This time was really refreshing for all of us and its probably what I cherished the most. I know this was an interesting way to approach this PT but I hope it gets approved as it was what was on my heart. Now that being said, lets enjoy a prosperous and successful football season in the DSFL. Lets go Birddogs!! Make 'em feel our paws!
Well, the first thing that Oxford Comma did after winning the s49 Ultimus was go to Disney World. Because that's what all the great celebrators do, right? But then, after he returned home, he simply went up to the locker room to stare at the trophy for 2-3 hours every morning. No words, no music, no friends--just staring. Once a maintenance guy walked in on him staring, but Comma was too caught up in his staring to even notice that he came in. The maintenance guy said that it felt kinda like walking in on someone in the stall.
Then, Comma went back to a local New Orleans middle school every day to teach grammar to the students there. Comma's real passion in life is teaching English, he just plays in the ISFL on the side as a way to make some money. Soon, after a few more trophies, Comma will finally retire from football and start the life he always wanted: an English professor.

What did my player do to pass the time? Well, since Kai was coming out of the University of Western Michigan as a prospect, he spent most of his offseason getting ready for the draft. He talked to a ton of scouts (and wondered why so many asked if he'd be willing to change his position). He trained nearly every day for his first games, and the time he wasn't busy with scouts or training his mind was spinning imagining where he might end up, I mean, he could end up anywhere from London to Minnesota to Tijuana, it would decide everything about his and his partner's life for a minimum of the next year. However, his favorite part was without a doubt the prospect bowl. It was his chance to show what he was really capable of, and boy did he show up. He got his first experience playing against other athletes with genetics like his own and even though it was harder than any game he'd played before, he got his first interceptions and his Bull Frogs pulled away with the series win.
