Personal Statement
Hi! My name is Jacob (water boy) Renevier and I LOVE POLO! I am a currently a Junior at Valley View High School in Moreno Valley, CA. I am a Water Polo player. I began playing polo in the 7th grade with the Yeti Club in Moreno Valley. Within a year I was playing in club tournaments with the high school team (18U). My Freshman year I was a starter on the Varsity Team, our team won our League Championship undefeated and won CIF Southern Section. My freshman year I was named to the All-League team. Growth as a player was important to me, I continued to play with the club team, competing in KAP7 tournaments, summer league and attending Tony Azevedo clinics whenever possible. My Sophomore year, I again was a starter on the Varsity team. And again, our team was undefeated, winning our league, CIF Southern Section, and made it to the second round of State Regionals. Mt Sophomore year I was name to the All-League Team and All CIF Team. During the summer between my Sophomore and Junior year I continued to push myself, playing Club Polo, summer league and passed the California State Lifeguard physical test.
I am a strong player and teammate. I push my team to perform at higher levels and want my teammates to push me. My goals for the future are to attend a college where I can be pushed to succeed at higher levels in the pool while continuing my education. I struggled with academics at first, only wanting to focus on Polo. I have now realized that my education is just as important if not more so. I currently have a 3.6. I will admit I am a "tough nut" but I am dedicated and once I set my mind something I am 100% committed. My commitment - I want to play Water Polo in college and I want my degree. I want to win with you.
