There the players begin to slowly unwind from the intense level of the game. Anxiety is replaced with warm acceptance and an almost ritualistic brotherhood. The locker room presents a unique perspective into the workings of our Champions. There in the safety of the locker room a new aspect of the gladiators come to light. There the defenders begin to slowly unwind from the intensity of the game.
Anxiety is replaced with warm acceptance and an almost ritualistic brotherhood.
It is a safe place, a haven where the players are protected from the glare of thousands of prying eyes and legions of screaming, demanding voices. Many of the Enforcers have told me that they block out the sound of the crowd out when they fight. So if you think that it is your cheering that is edging most of them on, the Enforcers are reaching deeper than you realize. Most are actually only able to enjoy the acolades after the fight has ended. Besides the justifiable ranting from a losing coach, the only scrutiny that the teams are offially subjected to after the games is from the press.
