Ayden Lear '26 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play water polo at a collegiate level. I’ve been playing since freshman year and fell in love with the sport ever since my first game. The first few weeks of practice, my coaches told me that I was a fast learner. In fact, in a lot of activities that I’ve been introduced to, the coach usually makes a comment about how fast I learn. When coaches and teachers say that I am a student-athlete, they always mention how student comes first. I completely agree with that statement. As a student I do my best to turn my work in on time and make sure it’s past the teachers standards. When it comes to practice, I’m always trying my best in drills. Even when I’m having an off day, I do my very best to try and learn from mistakes made. When coaches are giving me suggestions I do my best to learn and take away the most from what they are saying. As a starter for my high school team, I believe it’s important to do your very best and to keep a positive mindset and get teammates in a positive mindset for every game, practice drill, and scrimmage
