I have been chasing my water polo dream for three years now and it is starting to pay off! I started off playing at Skyline High School freshman year, surrounded by a community of people who made me feel included and motivated to achieve high goals in this sport. From there I set off on my recruiting journey, emailing coaches, pulling together film, and coordinating tournaments. The Olympic Development Program has taught me how to push myself, place myself in hard situations, and has taught me an amazing amount about the game itself. I have gained friends from different states, been included with different teams, and have had life long sports experiences that I will forever remember; But it does not stop here! I have been selected to attend the National Team Selection Camp with girls my age from across the United States and Hawaii. I am beyond excited and am fundraising with a goal of $1,425 that will go towards growing and helping USA Water Polo. Thank you for helping me through the journey, I cannot wait to see where it takes me.
