The US actually had a big influence on the way Cubans play sports, due to the two countries historical back rounds. For instance, Baseball is the #1 sport in Cuba! Boxing coming in as #2. Unlike the US sports are sort of enforced upon children at very young ages. Every school in Cuba is required to compete in a Junior Olympic Program for athletics such as weightlifting, tennis, basketball, baseball, swimming, diving, football(soccer), water polo, volleyball and many more! Cuba believes in "Sports for all" meaning that they believe athletics to be a right of the people, not just the wealthy. Cuba takes pride in success and winning, both come from hard work, determination, and a strong will-power (believed to have come from working civilians and not from upper class, wealthy people).
