Aidan Olson '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello Coaches and Recruiters-

My name is Aidan and I am a very proud water polo player who craves being on a competitive team and challenging myself playing against the best. I think we all learned a valuable lesson during the recent  pandemic when youth sports were suspended and pools shut down. Having something we love to do taken away  made us search for alternative training opportunities and we learned you need to create opportunities for yourself to train at the highest levels. I’ve been taught water polo is always team sport and how you play on offense and defense is equally important. I started playing water polo when I was 7 years old and through club seasons I have played on 8 Junior Olympic teams most recently finishing 6th in the nation for platinum 16U boys facing the best teams in the country. I am the top scorer for my high school and club team, but I also lead in steals, assists and blocks too. Being selected for  ODP teams for Cadets and Youth I have enjoyed any opportunity to play at a higher level. I’m currently the captain of my high school team as a junior and look forward to continuing to grow and lead my high school team through  the  2022-2023 season with the great teammates I have. 

I would like to find the perfect D1 fit to continue playing the sport I love while attending college and continuing to grow my mind and spirit. I believe team sports can translate into making you a good student with great communication and leadership skills.  

Thank you.
