7.      sport to sport most difficult transition- what change from one sport to another disrupts your body, schedule or head the most

It is always hard to get back in the pool after a season of golf. Golf isn’t the most physically demanding sport out there, but water polo might be. The first day of water polo preseason is always a struggle

8.       opponent that you want to beat the most in what sport

• individual and/or

• team

 Since my freshman year when the team started, Gonzaga has been in our crosshairs. They have had a team for thirty-something years (compared to our 4), and some of our losses have been brutal. We have closed the gap, but still never beaten them.

In the heat of the fall waterpolo season, I had 9 practices per week between Landon and my club team
