My teammates inspires me. Even with limited opportunities to compete, we practice everyday our facility is available. Everyone loves the game and each other. In this atmosphere two athletes have gone on to play Div. I water polo. They inspire me and make me believe I can do it too.
Making the USA National Team for the first time. Everyone told me it would be impossible as I am from a city with only one water polo youth team. However, with hard work and the support of my parents, coaches, and team, I was able to participate in local and regional USA Water Polo clinics where I was identified as one of the top players in the region.
