Great! Just one tip – if you use the word “underdog”, people will understand you’re talking about a team (from the context of whatever sport is the subject of the conversation), so you don’t need to put “underdog team.” A single person (tennis player, golf player, wrestler, etc) can be an underdog. But it’s not common to say “underdog person” or “underdog team.”
