Thumbs up Base tweaking

I am indeed a rookie in the EFL world an I have had the pleasure of playing my first 2 games with Coach Joe.G and Coach Ed.R, great friends. Ultimately I played the "National One", and Coach Jack. Coach Ed always made it his business to mention my name to the great tweakers of the EFL world, and I contacted & received bases from and ultimately met Coach Norbert, Coach Jim.D, Coach RM, Coach Pratt, Coach Geno, and I will soon meet the great Coach K-Lo.

After the first 2 games and additional bases my loss margin went to 6-0, 10-7, and 7-6. My point not only did the great aforementioned Coaches supply me with a high caliber squad, they took the time to school me on how to play the game and how to coach a team. Eventualy, i learned the art of winning a game. coach K-Lo says it best "you gonna have to learn how to put some points on the board". I communicate with him as muc h as possible and it was coach K-Lo and the defensive philosophy of Coach pratt that kept the offense from scoring pass plays for the latter part of the NHFL 2007 season.
I have the emails and I re-read the theories on a daily basis. I spoke to coach Jim and sat with him at Winterfest and got schooled on neutralizing the loopers. that wisdom along with what Coach K-Lo taught me the loopers stayed out of my backfield. Coach Norbert would always get a call after my games and no matter what happened he would say "...well you are getting better buddy..."

The combination of all that wisdom helped me become a bit more competitive and I made it to the NHFl playoffs. One day my bases were left in the hot car and my power line was weakend. I immediately panicked and called to get more bases, but i realized the coaches were leaning towards telling me to make what I have work. ultimatly, they sent me an emergency tweaked base kit and I was ready for the NHFL playoffs. The board I played on speed was so low that my new power line could not get the vibration it needed to prove that my over 700+ yards rushing was no fluke. Thats when it hit me, I
need to learn to tweak so that I could have bases for any and all board conditions and I have the blue prints from the bases the great coaches sent me. At first I felt like I let the Coaches down that sent me the bases, but i realized my mind was so set on getting the bases from them and wanting the bases to work for me, I did not factor in the board speed element and that home team controled the board speed, therefore, even my best allstar tweaked base combo was not enough when faced with unfathomable factors.

My point I call the great tweakers and ask questions and get their wisdom.
that they are so often to share. I can firmly say that all the tweakers mentioned have all tried to talk me out of spending unnecessary money on bases, even though it was going to them. I have a great deal of respect for my NHFL league mates and all of the coaches that have taken the time to share the philosophy of EFL especialy tweaking, Coach K-Lo, Coach RM, Coach Norbert, Coach Jim.D, Coach Pratt, Coach Geno, and KC Bill.

National One said it best in the beggining of the season "a strong team doesnt neccesarily mean victories". Thanks Coach Ed for being A
brother and A Coach Joe for keeping me inspired, Coach Jack for my first visit to NHFL Central and National of the Philly crew for keeping it real.

Coach Flint I didnt forget you thanks for the scrimmage in KC and sharing your tweaking skills. ps, did your dad give you the game ball I sent you? LOL

Coach Weirdwolf thanks for the scrimmage and Coach Lance be easy in KC.......
