Favorite piece of
water polo advice anyone has ever given you? Take an open shop quicly or pass
it around.
Here’s what Andrew’s teammates have to say about him...
“Andrew’s years of lobbying FINA to legalize subbing on the
fly at mid-pool have finally paid off.”
“If there was a heat map f all of Andrew’s polo goals by
location, only the top corners would be lit up.”
“Give me one good reason we don’t call him ‘Ozzy!’ “
“Andrew’s third place finish in 5 alive is my favorite memory
to date – outside of bringing mountain dew and cheese to parties.”
“Best Andrew quote – ‘Becky's has the best orange juice, so
much better than their cider.’ “
“Always has the most legitimate excuses for tardiness at
practice – toastmaster, church, etc.”
“Least likely to sing karaoke…”
“Never stops caring for others and asking how they are”
“Andrew is a tried and true member of our team. He never
gives us, never stops working and is always smiling.”
