With the return of the fall season, there's plenty of athletes that will take to the pitch and showcase their talents. There's sure to be surprises, as lesser-known players emerge and establish themselves among the best in their league or classification.
Others will return, not missing a beat from last year's efforts, potentially reaching new heights individually while leading their respective team.
