David Mootz '21 Recruiting Profile

The 2020 season marks my 7th year of playing water polo--initially starting out with club polo and then playing for my high school.  I enjoy being in the water but what really captivated me was the non stop action.  I look forward to expanding my skills and experience throughout my high school years and I highly desire to play at the next level.  I know playing in college is a rare opportunity that provides experiences not afforded to many.  I possess a solid knowledge of the game,  good ball handling and shooting skills, and respectable endurance.  I take pride in my ability to be an exceptional teammate both in and out of the water.  I work hard and use criticism to improve my game.

Academically, I study hard and have an excellent GPA.  I have not only maintained a high GPA but I also have a history of volunteer work such as Red Cross, Student Ambassador, my church’s youth group, Campus Ministry, and altar service at both church and school.  Furthermore, I am enrolled in International Baccalaureate classes with my sights set on pursuing a medical career.  After high school, I plan to attend a college where I can continue to challenge myself academically and hope to continue competing in the sport I love.
