Option 2

Marton has always enjoyed taking a trip home to Germany for some relaxation during the offseason. That's been more difficult between S75 and S76 while he's been putting a lot of time and energy into the opening of The Island Gym.

Being in Germany has usually provided a nice balance: Diehm is recognized often but the German public tends to be very respectful of his privacy, so fans are usually content with a wave and hello, sometimes a quick photo or autograph. Recently, Marton struck up a friendship with professional footballer Fara Dian, who plays for the German team SFV in the SSL. This has noticeably raised his profile, resulting in more requests for photos (and candids being snapped without request), but it helps to be with a friend in those situations, the two of them being able to share in the experience.

Back in Texas, his own increased prominence on the Renegades roster and his visibility in the community through various projects including the Gym have focused the spotlight tighter around Marton as well. At least it has so far been mostly reserved for specific fan-engagement events and those fans drawn to the Island Gym, who *mostly* understand that Diehm is there to work and not just to chat or sign their towels. For the time being, there are still much bigger names in Texas so all the fan focus hasn't turned on Marton in a negative way.
