Derek Tirado '27 Recruiting Profile

I want to apply my leadership, offensive and defensive skills to help my college team to win games and learn from each other strengths as well as to support the areas for improvements. I ponder myself an asset to a team considering my abilities and continue effort in playing outfield and as a goalkeeper with a good sense of the game which creates more opportunities for the team. I strive in exceling in the effort of trying upgrading and enhancing's my skills. Displaying 100 percent of my talent and willingness in order to contribute to the goals for my team is my ultimate aim as a player. What makes me different from other recruits is my awareness of the game, my humbleness in accepting defeats as well as keeping up the team spirit under the presented circumstances. On the other hand,  my leadership as the teams' captain for the last three years has transformed my view as solid and empathic team player. As a testament of my maturity process in the water polo discipline, this last August 2024 I obtained an honorable mention in the last National Junior Olympic All-Tournament Team being recognized among all the team players participating for my outstanding defensive in addition to my offensive mastery as a driver. I also have been invited to the adult team having 15 years old.   I have 3:00 GPA and seeking to upgrade my academic performance.
