Ryan Bradford '25 Recruiting Profile

I love the sport of water polo and have been playing competitively for six years. I have always been a goalie, and take great appreciation in being a backbone of the team and a leadership figure, both as a goalie and a teammate. As long as I can get in the pool and keep growing, I consider myself to be succeeding. I value the skills earned by playing the sport of water polo, such as teamwork and camaraderie, which extend into many other aspects of my life. I am a hard working player with or without eyes on me, and enjoy working alongside others with a similar work ethic. I have always been told I am a very coachable/teachable student and athlete, and hold the desire to learn, which I do at an accelerated pace. My water polo IQ haas been heavily developed over the past 6 years, and continues to grow as I face new opponents and situations, and learn how to counter each new threat.
