Welcome to your Weekly Dynasty Challenge here at UTHdynasty.com. What the weekly challenge is designed to do is make you step out of your comfort zone, try some different strategies and become a better dynasty owner. The whole reason we started this site was to create a legion of dominant dynasty leaguers who are as passionate about the game as we are. Even though UTHdynasty.com is a paid site for the most part, the Weekly Dynasty Challenges will always be free to everyone who stops by the site.
Without further ado, here is your weekly dynasty challenge.
The Challenge
Your dynasty challenge this week is to get uncomfortable. What do I mean by that? I mean – do something you would never normally do. I know this sounds weird, but sometimes it is very important for us as dynasty owners to bust out of our conventional comfort shells. To be a dominant dynasty force indefinitely, you are going to have to change-up your game at some point. I like to think that just as people think they have you pegged, is when you are the most dangerous. It gives you an opportunity to throw them a Greg Maddox-like changeup. So don’t just sit on a great pitch. Throw it.
The Goal
There are going to be so many instances in your dynasty GM careers where something is presented to you and it feels like the right thing to do. Yet, it makes you very uncomfortable even thinking about pulling the trigger on it. Like I said though, you know it is the right thing to do. What I am suggesting is make a very small trade to begin with, but one that is completely out of your normal comfort zone. It could be something as small as giving up a future second round pick for someone you believe in like Justin Hardy, even though you know he isn’t quite worth that right now. The real question is – will he be in the next 6-12 months?
Dynasty owners do not just change their overall mentalities overnight. As with anything change takes time. Maybe your overall strategy doesn’t need to be changed, but everything needs to be tweaked from time to time. It’s like saying Phil Mickelson started playing golf and never once felt like he needed to do some things to adjust his swing from time-to-time. Everyone, no matter how good you are at something, has to step out of their comfort zone every once in a while in order to take their game to the next level.
Good luck and keep building those dynasties.
