Scribbl 13 PressConf Gipfel Blueleaves

Scribbl: What your team is focusing on over winter?
Coach Twam: Over this winter period I've been trying to get the players so stop flinching so much when the ball is thrown at them. I'm pleased to announce out of this that I now have one player capable of catching the ball (semi-)reliably! We've also done some physical training, however I'm worried that some of the players aren't giving it their all as I've noticed the bellies of many a player have actually grown! Perhaps using food as an incentive for training was a bad idea after all.
Scribbl: What are your hopes for the upcoming spring regionals?
Coach Twam: My players have shown an especially high amount of fear to the prospect of playing against beastmen. I'm sure it will be a challenge to convince my players to not turn and run against the threat of being trampled by hooves and gored by horns. The team staff and I have already begun to plan the feast after the game to be big enough to hopefully persuade even the most craven halfling to stand and fight.
