Could have sworn this closed at the usual time, so I understand if this doesn't count anymore.
I've been in the league since the Reddit recruitment back in July, and honestly, I can't believe how much this league has given me in such a short amount of time. Though, going onto five months now, I suppose it really hasn't been that short of a time any longer. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when signing up, but I knew that I really wanted a place to talk Football if nothing else. I definitely got that with the ISFL, but I got a whole lot more too, which is an insane amount of great friends. Be it Butters and Star, Slate and Mojo, or Frazzle and WhatAmUs, or whoever, I've met so many wonderful people that I truly am glad to be friends with. And with their friendship has come a lot of fun opportunities that I couldn't have ever imagined having in this league. After only a week after being drafted, I was a Kansas City war room member and then turned into their GM before midseason, and then a round 1 pick in the ISFL S25 draft. I've been given every opportunity to really experience the most exciting and highest honors of the league, and there's still a ton more possibilities past this.
As GM, I'm just really thankful for the team I run. The Kansas City Coyotes are truly special to me, and I genuinely am glad I can etch my name into the team's history, no matter how temporary that history may be. It's always been a wonderful team to be a part of, and I have had one of the greatest groups of people to work with and talk with possible my entire time here. And with Kansas, almost every single member in the war room is a GM or is training to become a GM. To have such a committed and active group of people that pour just as much passion as I do, possibly even more, into something like this, is something truly special. My time in the ISFL is one that I'll treasure long after I finally decide to call it quits. Though, I plan on being here for quite a while and enjoying as much of the league as I possibly can. I'm only on my third season, so everything I've experienced so far is just the beginning, so I can only imagine what awaits me moving forward. I hope for nothing but the best for the league and hope that it continues to grow into something even more special than what it is already.
