Eliot Alvarez '22 Recruiting Profile

Water polo is just not a thing in the area where I grew up, but once I gave it a try, I knew polo is a great fit for me. I’ve done whatever it has taken to get to a pool and play. I played for San Leandro High School and was the biggest and the best on the very worst team in the area. I had to lead the team in charisma, energy, discipline, play time, and points. I may not have had the most consistent coaching, but I am determined to learn the game and to improve my skills wherever I can. I am tall (6’5” and growing), with a 6’9” wingspan, so I can snatch a ball from anywhere. I am bright, strong, quick, durable, hard-working, eager, and tough: I am a perfectly moldable player. I am ready to do what it takes to play on your team in the position you need. I am versatile and dedicated, and able to pick up morale on any occasion. I am excited to play collegiate water polo: I am prepared to do whatever it takes.
