5Sam replied to 5Ellie's discussion Are Energy Drinks bad for you?
"Yes, although the adrenaline before the game, in my opinion, is enough. My heart is already beating fast enough because of the nerves, and the energy drink can spike it even more. Also, energy drinks can cause me to "Crash"  in the middle of my game."

5Sam replied to 5brett's discussion Does Kamala Harris win if she was elected for the Democrats earlier?

5Sam replied to 5brett's discussion Does Kamala Harris win if she was elected for the Democrats earlier?

5Sam replied to 5Joseph's discussion Transgender Men in Women Sports

5Sam replied to 5Joseph's discussion Transgender Men in Women Sports
