Individual Introduction

 Hello fellow viewers, 

My name is Nick Capozzi, I will be alongside my partner Mitchell Grosch throughout the term talking about how sports have affected our lives and give you guys an understanding of what we do to prepare for our sport while in school. I’m a junior at Mercyhurst University majoring in business administration with the hopes of running my own business one day and minoring in sports studies as I am also a goalie for the Mercyhurst club hockey team. I have played hockey and baseball throughout my life for my hometown school and travel sports teams. I grew up in a small town in Elma, NY. Some of my hobbies are playing video games, mostly sports games because I am awful at shooting games. I enjoy hanging out with friends, working out, and playing sports. I can’t wait to introduce to you my view of the sports world and hope you guys enjoy!

 Pittsburgh Steelers off to a 6-3 start The Pittsburgh Steelers sit at 2nd place in the current AFC North rankings with a record of 6-3. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a young, talented group with a winning culture and and experienced coaching staff. George Pickens, the wide receiver, running back Najee Harris, and quarterback Kenny Pickett lead the offense.
