Written Option 1:
Weston Windsor tends to be a fairly low-key player, whether it's in his celebrations, his post-game interviews, or even in the locker room. For his part, he tries to block out the sound of the crowd and focus on the game unfolding before him. This can make him look a little meek to some fans, and perhaps even some teammates, who are more used to showy displays and fireworks from players at his age. But, that's just how he is and he doesn't have much inclination to change. The idea of setting up a play purely for crowd enjoyment would be alien to Weston: to him, that's something for All-Star games, skills competitions, or the Harlem Globetrotters, not real competition. Every shift on the ice is a crucial piece of completing the puzzle of a full game, and you never really have an opportunity to showboat. You just think you do, until it comes back to bite you. So, it's all about focus -- and to stay focused, he just tries to lock in. The same pre-game playlist every game, the same rituals during warm-up, and that same attempt to lock out the crowd. The game is the same whether it's the first game of the pre-season or game seven in the play-offs: as long as he can remind himself of that, he can do his best to ensure that he plays his best. The right play is the right play. |
