2022 HighlightsPersonal Statement
Hello Coach(s),
I started water polo in 2019 when I was 12 years old, and that is when I found my passion for it. There isn't a day that goes by that I am not thankful and grateful to be able to practice or get in the water. I am a highly motivated and dedicated student athlete. Grades are always my priority, and I will choose a college that will support my future career.
I am excited and determined to play water polo in college and given the opportunity I will be a great asset to any team. I thrive in team environments and enjoy inspiring my teammates. I am a positive motivator and encourage my teammates. I work very hard and have a strong work ethic. I am a leader by example for performance as well as for attitude. When you see me, I almost always have a smile on my face, in and out of the pool.
I look forward to the recruitment journey and am excited to see where my water polo career takes me!
