Football Season: The 5 Phases of Preseason Headset Inspection

Headset Communications Football
Who you got assigned to headset setup this season? Whoever you choose. We feel ya... Here's the 5 phases of headset inspection every pre-season. (Sometimes parody is the best form of acknowledging the truth.)

Phase 1: Dead Battery Denial

  1. Plug old gear into charger.
  2. Wait for the sad beep.
  3. Wiggle connector, repeat.
  4. Remind yourself, “I’ll only have to do this 10 more times this season.”

 

Phase 2: Smell Check

  1. Put on headset.
  2. Pull mic to mouth.
  3. Experience the aroma of Gatorade, chew spit, and 2019 sweat.
  4. Whisper, “It’s prolly fine.” (It’s not.)

 

Phase 3: Connector Aerobics

  1. Notice electrical tape job from last season.
  2. Consider rewiring cord around your hip pack.
  3. Convince yourself you can hear through the static.
  4. Anxiety rises to playoff levels.

 

Phase 4: Assign Case Carrying Duty

  1. Pick an assistant (because it ain’t going to be you).
  2. Remind yourself they’ll definitely remember to load everything onto the bus (probably, maybe).
  3. Pray the toolkit, chargers, and adapters all made it.

 

Phase 5: Google “A Better Way”

  1. Learn what new headsets cost (cry quietly).
  2. Wonder if there’s a better way.
  3. Find The Headset App.
  4. Box up old gear and shove it in the equipment closet, where it belongs.
