After getting drafted the the premier development league team, The Norfolk Seawolves. I spent a month in a submarine before somebody finally got a dolphin to deliver a message to me saying that this has nothing to do with the team or football. Of course, that was only after I spent a week throwing wolves into the pool and fighting them. So now I'm not really sure at all what this team is or what I'm supposed to do here. For now they just have me back on the field to practice running routes and catching balls, which I already know how to do! Now I gotta learn the playbook? why? just tell me what route im supposed to run and i'll execute. All that being said I still found time to jet ski and sign a zyn sponsorship. it was a good summer and i'm happy to be here in Norfolk, England.

In anticipation for the season 50 campaign, Lenard McRobinson ensured he wasted no time preparing for the long road ahead of him and the team. While other quarterbacks around the league may have been relaxing to prepare their bodies for the brutal toll of the gridiron season and others spent the time basking in their newfound fame through advertisement campaigns, movie cameos, and the like, McRobinson set a strict schedule of gym time and optional (but not really) workouts with his young receiving corps. After all, it's critical to build chemistry on the field, and waiting until training camp is asking to start the season with miscues. Besides working out, practicing, and working with the coaches on the scheme for the upcoming season, the only personal endeavor of note for McRobinson was hosting his annual youth football camps in both South Dakota and Honolulu. The only thing more important than winning a ring is preparing the next generation of kids to become leaders in an increasingly challenging world to navigate.

During the offseason, Rex Havoc knew that while the physical demands of the game were intense, the mental preparation was just as important. With S50 of the ISFL on the horizon, he decided to strike a balance between sharpening his physical skills and taking time to recharge mentally.

The first part of his offseason was all about preparation. Havoc dove deep into his team's playbook, studying new defensive schemes and analyzing footage of the league’s top offenses. He wanted to ensure that he could anticipate every move, perfecting his ability to read quarterbacks and offensive lines. Mornings were dedicated to watching film, making notes, and discussing strategies with teammates over Zoom. He even reached out to his former mentor, Dave Morriowind, for advice on maintaining a strong mental game during the offseason.

Afternoons, though, were all about the grind. Rex hit the gym relentlessly, working with a personal trainer to enhance his speed and agility while maintaining his raw strength. He crafted a new training regimen that focused on flexibility and recovery, ensuring his body could withstand the brutal hits and constant demands of being a defensive end. There were no days off. Seven days a week, he was lifting, sprinting, and working on technique drills. Havoc even took up yoga which surpised his teammates, but it helped keep him focused and injury-free.

Despite his intense routine, Rex understood the importance of balance. So, after weeks of hard training, he took a well-earned break right before training camp was set to take place. He traveled to a quiet lakeside cabin in Northern Ontario with his family. Fishing, hiking, and sitting by the campfire gave him the peace he needed to recharge mentally. It wasn’t the busy vacation some players opted for, but it was exactly what Havoc needed as a reminder of where he came from and who he was working so hard for.

By the time the offseason ended, Rex Havoc felt stronger, faster, and more prepared than ever.

After a difficult season for Stetson David and the Hahalua, Stetson headed to the Rocky Mountains for a few weeks to decompress and rest his aging body. He felt the wear and tear more this past winter than ever before and spent much of his time in a hot tub and going for long stretches to try to take it easy. After things were sort of back to normal, Stetson took his family to Ireland for a month long vacation and to ponder his upcoming retirement in a few seasons. He tried to get an idea of what he’d like to do after his playing days came to an end. Once they got home, Stetson got hard to work at the gym and practice field to prepare for what he and the team hopes to be a run at a playoff berth and the changing or fortunes for the team. Hopefully another ring or two before Stetson packs it in

During the offseason, American Dream took the opportunity to get some well-deserved rest.  He has had his nose to the grindstone since the start of his high school career, through his college days and now several years into his professional career.  Of course, he didn’t do absolutely productive nothing during the break.  Sure, he traveled back to Connecticut to spend some time with his family and his childhood friends who still live there, but he also kept up his workout routine if not at the over the top level he has always maintained.

What he particularly appreciated was the time he spent on the river.  American has been a fly fisherman since he was bout 12.  When he gets the chance he likes to slip away to one of the lesser known rivers in the area and wet his fly.  He loves to hook a nice trout when he can, but his favorite part of the sport is just the solitude he can find in a beautiful part of nature and the chance this gives him to just unplug and unwind.

Well since probably one other person if that will ever read this I'm not afraid to spill the beans as to what I was doing this past offseason. As you may know Space Dino replaced Zenzeroni in the Wraiths lineup. What you don't know is the truth about how it happened. According to reports Zenzeroni was abducted much like Paul Mclaughlin who went missing all those years ago but that just simply isn't true because the thing is, Zenzeroni never left. I AM ZENZERONI XYSTARCH II. After our loss in the playoffs I hired some stage lighting and costume design people to make a whole event out of it making it seem like I had been abducted. While that was happening I was putting on an inflatable T-Rex dinosaur outfit that you may have seen in funny online videos. Luckily people in this league are too stupid to notice a difference and it has allowed me to become a new person and already seems to be paying off in my performance on the field this year.
