This summer we will focus on strength of mind, body, and commitment. We will undergo mental and physical challenges that will test each one of you.
I have 2 main goal, that we win league and to be CIF Champions.
I also have personal goals for each one of you.
All I can do is give you the oppurtunity.
Are you ready for the challenge?
I ask that everyone on the Boys Varsity Team post their goal in the comment section.

ReplyDeleteMy goal is to get to know better how water polo is played. I also want to work on swimming faster.
ReplyDeleteMy goal for this year is to swim as fast and well as some of the other players, because I am one of the slower players
ReplyDeleteI hope to emerge as a vocal leader and coach in the water critiquing aspects of our team play as well as being open for others to critique what they see when I am in the goal. I wish that my lateral movement in the cage improves as the days go by because cross passes and 6v5 create numerous change in direction of the ball.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to score atleast 5 goals thsi yer to achive this i will have to work on my shot and overall game overview.
ReplyDeleteMy goal this year is to improve enough so that I can competively participate in scrimmages and drills to the point where I am helping those around me improve so that they are better prepared for games. I also want to improve specifically on staying up through fakes and reacting to outside shots
ReplyDeleteTo stay in shape, get tan and start lifting for the first time in years. Even though after July I wont ever play polo at northwood again I am going to try to make it to games as well.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to play stronger role on the team defensively and offensively and be able to pull my weight in the games and scrimmages and not get countered.
ReplyDeleteAnd make some friends along the way.
My goal this summer is to get my 100m time down to a minute and twenty seconds. And also to learn the game better
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to improve my skills in water polo, swim faster, get to know more of my fellow team mates as well as make sure i'm ready for high school water polo. And if possible...work on skip shots!
ReplyDeletemy goal this summer is to get a role on the water polo team and help out everyone as a fellow teammate, and also make some new friends along the way
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to improve majorly in the sport and get a great workout every morning and prepare myself for the freshman year.
ReplyDeletemy goal is to learn more about water polo and to improve my overall game
ReplyDeleteMy ultimate goal is to help lead our team to a cif and league championship. while many may argue thats an "impossible" goal, it's definetly not. We have a bunch of talented players, however, I feel that many of them refuse to train to the best of their ability (I'm sure they know who they are).
ReplyDeleteAs a team we need to work on:
1. Communication
2. Swimming. Can't stress this enough. Having only 4 players complete the swim sets at practice (1 being a goalie), is sad. That means we only have 3 players who can truly swim, this leaves open 3 players who get countered (we saw this at el toro)
3. The players playing 1 and/or 5 need to man up and work to get the ball. When I was holding a side in set, I'm waiting for the ball to get around the perimeter to whichever side I'm facing towards but I see the player getting dunked or pushed out. Without them being active, the game becomes extremely hard
as for some of my personal goals, as always, I'm going to continue working on my legs. I'm going to keep working hard in all the swim sets and doing the best I can in the weightroom. Also, i'm going to try and critique younger players, hoping that I can help them become better.
we have a long summer ahead of us but i'm looking forward to it.

I want to get stronger physically and mentaly. I really want to have a stronger shot and get better at turning the peroson that is guarding me when I am playing set.

I want to be more confident when playing waterpolo, and also get more involved with more of the plays. I would want to help the inexperienced waterpolo players, and maybe lead the junior varsity or freshman team.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to improve myself offensively and defensively by being able to analyze whats going on better, and from that making good decisions. Having a stronger and more accurate shot wouldn't hurt either. I also want to improve myself physically by getting stronger, faster, and gaining more endurance.
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to become in general a better water polo player by becoming more physically fit, and learning a lot more about water polo. These decisions and or training may result in making junior varsity or freshman team.
ReplyDelete1. Improve defensive play - I'm pretty good at this, but I'd like to get better.
ReplyDelete2. Really, really improve offensive play - throw straighter, stronger passes, and hit the target.
3. Maybe take on a small leader role on the team.
i would like to improve upon my skills and be as much as a help to the jv and varsity teams as much as i can
ReplyDeleteMy major goals for this up coming season are:
ReplyDelete-become a stronger team leader in the field during games and practice
