2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I have been playing water polo since I was 10, and in the time I’ve spent playing the sport I have learned a lot. However, it was not until 2013 that I developed the passion, appreciation, and dedication for the sport that I have today. Ever since then, I have been striving to do whatever I can to excel at the sport and be a key contributor to my team. Whether that be improving my skills in the pool, or achieving academic success in the classroom, I am willing to do the hard work. I may not know everything about water polo, nor may I be the strongest, biggest, and fastest guy in the water, but you can bet that I will work hard every day in order to be the best player I can for my team.
