Hi! My name is Hope, and I’m incredibly excited (and grateful) to share that I’ve been selected once again to attend the 2026 USA Water Polo National Team Selection Camp (NTSC) this May.

Making NTSC is a huge honor and an important step forward as I continue working toward my ultimate dream: earning a spot on the U.S. National Team and representing Team USA at the Olympic Games one day.

Why This Journey Matters

Water polo is a little different from many other sports. Unlike programs that receive government funding, USA Water Polo is largely supported by private donations. That means opportunities like NTSC — including elite training, travel, competition, and development — are made possible by people who believe in athletes like me and choose to support our journeys.

Every step forward requires dedication, discipline, and commitment — both in and out of the pool — and I’m proud to continue putting in the work to grow as an athlete and teammate.

Gratitude for This Community 

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has supported me along the way — especially those who donated in the past. Because of your generosity, I was able to travel to Brazil last year, compete at the Pan American Games, and ultimately help bring home the gold medal ?. That experience meant the world to me and continues to motivate me every single day.

Looking Ahead

NTSC is another exciting and challenging opportunity to learn, grow, and move one step closer to the highest level of competitive water polo. The road to Team USA is not easy, but it’s filled with incredible experiences that shape me not only as an athlete, but as a person.

If you feel called to support — whether by donating, sharing my page, or simply cheering me on — please know that there is absolutely no pressure, and that any form of encouragement truly means so much.

Thank You ❤️

Thank you for believing in me, for supporting my goals, and for being part of my journey. I am so grateful for each and every one of you and couldn’t do this without your encouragement and generosity.

With love,

Hope
