Matteo Fiorella '28 Recruiting Profile

I was born in Italy on January 5th, 2011, and on 2019 I moved with my family to Toronto, Canada.

I started to play water polo in September 2021, and from the first time I dipped into the pool, I felt an incredible feeling and connection with this sport, falling in love with it.

A sport that not only allows me to express my physicality, but that also continuously gives me precious lessons in discipline, commitment and teamwork. 

Teachings and qualities that I carry with me both into the pool and in life.

As a player, I thrive under pressure, enjoying the challenge of each game with the utmost commitment and determination.

I spent countless hours of training, improving my technique and developing my skills, and in each and every match I always give my all for the success of my team.

My dedication and commitment allow me to constantly seek ways to improve and elevate my game, pushing my limits to achieve new goals and results.

As one of the most experience players of my water polo team, I always try to pass all of these qualities on to my teammates.

Off the pool deck, I’m likewise dedicated to my academic tasks as I’m very aware about the importance of keeping a proper balance between school and water polo. 

This is allowing me to develop further fundamental skills like time management, resilience and prioritization, enabling me to be both a better student and a better water polo player.

My passion for water polo is boundless and this is the reason why I would like to keep playing at the highest level, while building a solid academic path.
