How do you manage to juggle work, study, training, social life etc./any wise words for aspiring water polo players?

I plan out my week on a Sunday and aim to be organised for the week of training. My partner is very supportive so we just juggle and work it all out.

 

When did you start playing water polo?

When I was 10 years old, my mum was in the New Zealand women's team back in the day.

 

What has been your international water polo highlight?

My international water polo highlight would have been representing New Zealand in 2007 at the FINA World Junior Championships. We played Russia in the cross over match to make top 8. We beat Russia by 1 goal and I scored 3 goals, it was a fantastic game.

What are you looking to accomplish in water polo? Why do you play?

I have been playing water polo for nearly 15 years and I love and have so much passion for the game. I love being part of a team and love playing with team mates that have become great friends.  I play because I want to achieve the best and be the best and I hope and dream to still achieve that.
