Currently, only one sport dominates the entire globe, from Latin America, to Europe, to Asia and Africa, and North America. This sport is known here in America as soccer, and it’s been the world’s leading sport for a very long time now.

After participating in multiple high school sports such as football, basketball, and track & field, I developed a passion to work in sports. The sequence throughout my high school career that really inspired me to participate in sports was my senior year in high school when I placed 4th at the state championships in the men’s high jump competition.

This team showed great adversity yesterday. Now I know this game should not have been as close as it was and that needs to be fixed. But for this young Buccaneers team to come out and surrender a two score lead and still overcome adversity is an impressive feat and shows growth with this Bucs team. So many times in the past, we have watched our Bucs slowly self destruct and lose big leads and never get them back. Yes the Bucs should have blown them out, yes the Bucs still suffer from the kicking…
