"For the love of the game," is a quote from my very first water polo team. When things get hard this quote reminds me of why I need to push through. I play and practice with a love for the game. This thought process helped me earn my high school MVP in my sophomore and Junior years and it drove me to lead our team to the CIF quarter-finals (2022-2023). The past two years attending JOs have helped me develop my mental and physical game. This year as I go into the 2024 JOs I am looking forward to advancing my skills and working with my team to display my strengths in the water.
