Within the Tampa Prep community, each student has a unique story of growth and perseverance. For soccer team captain Luka Zujovic, that story is one of dedication, leadership, and commitment—qualities that have earned him a spot on the University of South Florida’s soccer team.

Zujovic’s impact on and off the field serves as an inspiration for current and future student-athletes. Reflecting on his time as team captain, he shared the valuable lessons he gained this season.

“During this season, I learned how to work with other people no matter the situation, provide constructive criticism, and always work to better the people around me,” Zujovic said.

As he prepares for the transition to college athletics, Zujovic recognizes the shift in competition and leadership dynamics.

“Knowing the different level of athleticism I will be experiencing at a school like USF, I’m hoping to smoothly transition into the program by taking a step back in my usual leadership roles and learning from my new teammates,” he said.

A four-year varsity player, Zujovic started just like many young athletes—working his way up. He credits his perseverance and mindset for his growth both on and off the field.

“No matter what position you may be in life, you can always do better,” he said. “You are always an unfinished product that can continue growing and learning.”

Zujovic’s work ethic and leadership have shaped his success, and his journey serves as a testament to the power of perseverance. As he moves on to the next chapter of his athletic career, his example remains a source of motivation for Tampa Prep students striving to achieve their own goals.
