Kisslinger II thoughts on the season and mindset going into the Playoffs.

[Kisslinger 376]

Today we have Zach Kisslinger II the amazing rookie of the Warsaw Predators. He is coming off a monster rookie season of 92 points in 72 games. Kisslinger II was always in the top ten for rookies and finished with a tie for second with Baby Bob. Kisslinger II was leading the way for more than half of the season and hit a weird mid season slump and went pointless for multiple days. 

Q. How do you feel about your individual season and how do you feel about your team's performance? 

A. I feel amazing about my performance, I feel like I came into this league as an underdog, I have always been the underdog, people passed on me in the draft because of bigger names, but I am outperforming these guys and have been my whole career. I feel like next season Kisslinger II is ready to take on a bigger role for the Warsaw Predators. I love it here and I think the team did amazing. My teammates and I get along so well, and we go out there every night to put on a show for our fans every night. I feel like we did our team justice this season and next season will be even better. 

Q. Did you have a mentor this season and how did they help?

A. Of course, and it was none other than @Crstats23. Reynolds played against my father, Zachariah Kisslinger, so I have always been around him. Reynolds has taught me my scoring touch and how to become a future leader of this team. Reynolds was one of the first to congratulate me on being drafted and how pumped we were to finally play together. Reynolds has taught me to have a positive outlook on the game and to take each game one at a time and a bad performance one game does not mean it will continue into the next game.   

Q. How is your mindset going into the playoffs?

A. I feel confident, I feel like my team feels confident. I always have a desire to win, and that is something that will pressure me and make me the best player I can be. I feel like I play super well under pressure, so I do not have to feel like I am going to crack and let my performance slip. I believe that I am going to do fine, and I do feel like I am not being overly cocky.

Q. Do you still feel like the ROTY

A. 100%. I feel like my name is not as big as the others on the list and I am the one of the least known people on that list. I feel like I came in and put the league on notice. I feel like I had a bigger impact on my team compared to the other rookies. I will let my performance in the playoffs speak and let the league judge who they think really is the ROTY. I will not be upset if the others win as I did have a midseason slump, but we had a really tough schedule at the second half of the season. I really wish my competitors good luck and may the best rookie win lol.
