Check it out now!
NN:
You became interested in water polo and were influenced to join it mainly by your father and sister. When did you first start playing water polo?
MS:
I first started playing water polo when I was 8 years old. We always had water polo balls around the house and floating in our backyard pool, so luckily, the idea was familiar to me. I did soccer, basketball, swimming, gymnastics, cubbies, you name it! So when Maureen O’Toole came to Danville and started Diablo Water Polo club, it was a no brainer to jump right in.
NN:
Best part about playing a team sport?
MS:
TEAMMATES. There is nothing like fighting alongside people you respect, trust, and love – it is truly what makes everything worth while.
NN:
What is your most favourite workout routine?
MS:
My favorite workout routine usually involves some cardio/warm-up into a hard & powerful lift. Then get in the pool to condition our bodies for endurance & speed (swimming), following with some strengthening sets/circuits for our legs! These are some of our hardest days, but they prepare us for ‘battle’ – mentally and physically. Ideally though, I would just play water polo for every practice 🙂
