My Story

Water polo has become a huge part of my life. Through the sport, I’ve learned discipline, teamwork, and how to push myself every day to improve.  I’ve built incredible friendships and grown both in and out of the pool – and I’m excited to continue that journey at the next level.

Hi my name is issei heenan and I’ve been selected to attend ntsc. Last summer I moved to LA from Hawaii. The environment and level of play has been incredible. Being surrounded by so many amazing athletes has greatly my performance as a player. I’am very thankful that I have been reselected for NTSC again. My experience from the last camp has been incredible. 

Since moving to Los Angeles I’ve been working hard with La Premier and I will do my very best to get to the next camp. Your support would mean so much and thinking of you will motivate me to succeed. Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope you will support my journey in ntsc. 

Why I Love Water Polo

I love water polo because it challenges me to be my best every day and teaches me how to be a better teammate.

Why Your Support Matters

As part of this journey, I’m raising support to help fund training, coaching, and development opportunities – both for me and for other athletes working toward their goals.  Your support directly helps make opportunities like this possible.

Looking Ahead

This page will stay with me throughout the 2026 ODP season, including NTSC and future Pipeline experiences.  If I’m selected for additional training camps or international competitions, I’ll continue updating my journey here as I work toward the next level.
