Trish recalls Grant’s
first day: “I remember some very bro looking bro out on deck just chatting away
with some people and I thought to myself, oh great some Cali jerk is here to
tell us how cool water polo is out west. Instead we got this goon of a guy who
has brought a tremendous amount of talent and life to our team.”
Do you remember your first week of practice?: All I remember from my first week was Wade telling Vince and I he watched Taylor swift music videos on mute.
