We believe we are well conditioned athletes..take us out of our element and we get our butts kicked...However, we took on the challenge of getting to the summit of pikes peak..we didnt complete our challenge but it didnt stop us from trying...This is one of the strengths of our team..with no fear we take on challenges and push our limits...We are just getting started...
"Outcondition your opponents"

We are grinding away....306 days till Opening Ceremonies!

Sleep...Polo...Eat...Sleep...Polo....
This is the cycle most of us on the USA olympic water polo now follow that we are in our full time training regiment..We go seven practices a week...We are incorporating new elements to our training...we play land sports like ultimate water polo and we pretend we are in boot camp and run in formation on the base...pretty hilarious..we also do some agility drills on land that would make some land sports peeps giggle...but we can hold our own...
Our next "competition" will be the Top 40...This tournament consist of splitting up the national, jr national, youth team into 4 teams and hosting a festival type tournament..This is a great way to showcase the pipeland the Women's water polo team has build in the last 8 years...
Till then we find other ways to entertain ourselves and to try and stay sane...watch this video and enjoy our wacky personalities...stay tuned because we are brainstorming some other wacky ideas to pursue..any ideas...post a comment.
