Hannah Lee '25 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Hannah Lee and I am the starting Goalie for Prosper High School, the 16U Goalie for Texas Thunder Water Polo, 2024 Youth ODP Goalie for the Mountain Zone and was the 2023 Cadet ODP Goalie for the Southwest Zone.

My character and commitment are a cornerstone to who I am as an individual and athlete and will make me an excellent team member and student. I have drive and passion for leading my team and always showing up with the right attitude. As a goalie, I am focused on supporting my team inside and outside of the water. I feel that part of my job not only as goalie but also being part of a team sport is maintaining a high and positive attitude throughout tough games or practices. Mindest is extremly important in sports but especially being goalie, getting constantly scored on and continuing to fight it and be strong is not an easy task. 

Playing my position has taught me to persevere through rough moments outside of athletics. When I bombed a test, or have an argument with my mom, I think, what can I do to improve this situation or problem?  I have taught myself that there is no such thing as failure in athletics it is, "Get up and try again." Failure is a feeling, and through determination and perserevence you can get up and stand your ground move forward in and out of the water to reach your goals or create new ones for yourself.  

I am always open to learning and growing as a person and athlete.  I enjoy being challenged and am naturally a good listener. I don't take things personally when it comes to positive and constructive adjustments and the introduction of new skills is something that I welcome.  College for me is a next step for growth academically, socially and an opportunity for independence and playing Water Polo in college is an important part of that growth.  It will provide me with a community, discipline and opportunity to travel and explore life outside of the school environment.
