Great pts G-force!
To artlax, once you have a guy hooked you have to reel him in!
Here's how Ole Nat'l got back into the game. I always got the plugged In. Saw that the tourney was being played in places like Cleveland, and Chicago. But since I had never been on a plane, I wasn't flying & I didn't like long drives...so that was out! Low and behold Miggle is coming to Philly. Well I can make that, and I did. I saw Dirk and Pat Morris. Pat showed me stuff...this and that. Ask me where I was from. Once I said Philly, he showed me where Myron Evans was set up, actually walked me over to him! Myron gave me a card. Then Cliff (a local coach) saw me, and told me about the PEFL & the NEFL. Took my number. Now I was totally blown away by what I saw, but I really had no interest in following up on it. Cliff would call me just about every Friday to tell me to come check them out! I was worried about meeting chicks, playing football, basketball, & baseball every chance I got, so there was no time to EF! But he kept calling, he told they had their playoffs, he told me about the Super Bowl....come check it out. I never showed up. But he never stopped. I did stop by his house a couple of times with my teams, and we would scrimmage. He was showing me how the game was played (now) Finally I stopped at the rec center to meet a lot of the guys. I started building my team, making trades, and exchanging phone numbers. The rest is history as they say....here I am.
I say all that to say this. Just because some one shows an interest, how far are you willing to go to reel that person in? If it was not for Cliff, I would never had got into the game. And even before that, if not for Pat picking out an wide eyed guy looking lost, I would not have been able to meet Cliff. Pat was the only person in that room to speak to me. That's why I try to make sure I'm never too busy or some Super EF coach to speak to somebody who looked like I did over 12yrs ago.
To touch on Geno's point, as I got older I did stop playing all those sports and MF filled those competitive juices.
Last thing about our image. We have to put it out there that the game has changed. The stuff looks better, and performs. I showed a guy a few clips off youtube on my phone. He thought the video was in fast forward....I said no, that's how fast they run!!!! This guys is 32. He had a game but said it never worked. He asked how you guys get them to work? I told him a lil bit, but I"m too lazy to stay on him. I'm not Cliff in that sense!
Post good clips on your facebook. Keep flooding youtube. Post that Nissan commercial done by the LA guys everywhere!!!!!!!
Celo has a pilot floating around with tommy davidson on it. Use that?
I think a commercial ran during football games Nationally would do the trick, or just run that Nissan Commercial!?
the F.O.T.H. is Nat'l
