🏈 The Touchdown Collective: When sick leave strikes
Keeping you ahead of the game, one play at a time
🏠 A bit of housekeeping…
Hi, everybody. I hope you are well.
I sent a note around last week explaining that I was taken into hospital and there would be no Touchdown Collective for a little while.
While I’m on the mend and (fingers crossed) there will be no long-term issues needing resolving - or at least can be resolved by taking a little medication - I’m still not in a position to create the newsletters at the moment.
That will be the case for the next few weeks as I continue undergoing tests and evaluations, so this is just a heads up that you won’t be hearing from me in your inbox for a little while longer.
I’ll be as active as I can on notes and around any cool content I see, so check out my personal feed if you’re passing by on the Substack app.
I’m hoping to be back up and running for the start of the NFL season proper, so I’ll speak to you soon!
Thanks for all the kind words and messages so far, they really do mean a lot.
