When I started
I started when I was in 6th grade. So I was bout 11 or 12 years old.
How I started
I started swimming in the YMCA summer leagues due to the urges of my instructor. I then started swimming in high school because I got cut from the baseball team first round.
Why I love it
There is no more relaxing place in the world than in the water. My favorite part is when you step up on the blocks and the nerves are pounding. When that gun goes off and you dive in though it is only you. Just you and the water. No better feeling in the world.
How I stay motivated
The way I stay motivated is my team mates and friends. They keep me going and I return the favor.
Accomplishments
I went to TAPPS State swimming my sophomore year of high school in 100 fly and 4x100 free relay.
Freshman year of high school. 2004.
I joined the swim team and I notice they were playing this game before the swim season. Water Polo had a fall season. I started playing and immediately fell in love.
They is no sport in the world like it. I loved to play basketball but I messed my ankle up and could never play the same again. Water Polo play style is very similar to basketball. I love to swim... you swim in polo. I love every aspect of water polo and I will continue to love it till the day I die.
Just keep playing. Never get your head down. Keep it up and keep working and you'll be great. Thats what I tell myself. Plus my team, I wouldn't trade them for the world.
I went to the '08 Junior Olympics. Help lead my high school team to it's first regional tournament in 2008 as well.
