Those before you didn't have YouTube or Twitter to watch some of the most legendary plays over and over again. These can help you in unlocking some of the more difficult concepts in how to become a soccer referee, like memorizing all of the certain calls, penalties, how to set up penalties, where to start the game, and so on.

Young and Done
Trae Young has drawn many comparisons over the course of this season, from Stephen Curry to Damien Lillard to Kyrie Irving. Certainly, leading the NCAA in both points and assists as a true freshman garners a certain level of attention. Attention that some would say ultimately derailed the Sooners season leading to an early NCAA tournament exit at the hands of Rhode Island 83-78, lack of defense being the standout answer to the Sooners woes. Regardless, Trae was front and center for all of it. ESPN gave the super frosh around the clock coverage. He was the best player in college basketball averaging 27 points and almost 9 assists leading a team that finished 11-20 with nearly the same roster from a year ago to a top 5 ranking and the NCAA tournament. He performed well on the biggest of stages in front of scouts and lookers on which has ultimately led to his decision to leave early and enter the NBA Draft as a freshman.

When the New York Yankees traded for last year's NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton, they became the unanimous pick to win the World Series this season.

Worst Managers in MLB History
It's unfair to pin all of a baseball team's struggles on the manager. Sometimes it can be a good thing when a team struggles. It shows that the team is growing. It's about how the team reacts to this growth and how they adjust. That's where the manager's role comes into question.
