The coming storm of Neon

I'm proud to be managing the skids. They are a solid team of excellent players that just needed some direction in the right step and I feel Ive begun to provide them with that direction. Their Jammers are some of the best, their blockers work together as one unit while still being able to function as individuals.
The neon inspires me to drive myself and push myself past my limits and reach for new limits. The camaraderie of the team and my acceptance to it has made me feel like I have a home now.
Individually I could list the strength and weaknesses of each player but it is their strength in arms that makes them a fighting unit with spirit I haven't encountered since my Army days. It is the passion in their eyes and the sweat they put in and receive that drives me to push myself. it is their drive that drives me.
The coming storm of Neon is taking over the East coast as we travel to CT, DC and Suburbia. There is no doubt in my mind what the outcome will be. After witnessing them take on a team they knew they couldn't beat they held their own and proved themselves to be an adversary worthy of notice. This did not happen from me. It happened from each and every skater who took the track and looked at me with confidence that they knew where to be when to be there and who was to their left and right at all times.
It wasn't the payoff of a loss but the learning experience that they can carry with themselves of knowing that they took on impossible odds and stopped them dead in their tracks, if not for a minute but for a period. 30 minutes.
The wraith being unleashed this weekend is a precursor to the rest of the year. It is the year of Neon, the year that a team no one though could, will.
