We play fantasy football. Guilty. We download apps, follow the experts on twitter, watch NFL Fantasy Live, do mock draft after mock draft every year with one goal in mind. TO WIN! But is this the year? Is this the year I WIN! We put all the homework in. We have the same thoughts. "Nobody deserves this more than I do!" "I've drafted the perfect team." "That trophy is mine!" I think this every year. You think this every year.
I've had a bad run of luck past two years. Making the Championship game, and losing two year in a row can ruin a man! But it makes me more hungry each year! Then I began to think. Two years in a row, did I follow the same pattern? Make the same mistakes? In the Army, we have a process called AAR (After Action Report) when we finish a training exercise. You make it clear what you accomplished, what went good, what went bad, and taking suggestions for improvement. This year I conducted an AAR on my fantasy playing. Take the chance, change something up. Fix the formula!
So I encourage you, if you are like me, fighting for that title of league champion, having the bragging rights for an entire year, reevaluate the way you play. Conduct your own AAR. And just maybe, this will be your year.
