What Makes A Great Water Polo Player?
It isn’t size, strength or speed. Water polo is a game of timing and precision. It is the subtle little things that separate great players from good ones.
Without the right guidance, players can not pick up the finer points needed to be elite players.
Coach Sasha, aka “The Water Polo Whisper,” knows these skills and knows how to teach them. Players will quickly pick up skills that apply to their game, whether for a USA water polo club, high school or even an elite college team.
More Than Individual Skills
Many players come expecting that it's only their individual skills that need correcting. And while there are many fundamental skills that need to be refined and improved, if it is not learned in the concept of the complete game it won’t be applied in the pool.
In addition, water polo is a team game. Elite level team concepts of tactics and strategy can only be covered in groups.
Even individual skills such as positioning, anticipation and timing need to be learned with peers. It is difficult to learn with fifteen others in the water, impossible to learn individually.
How To Get Started
The first step is to determine if you have the drive and commitment to be the best. It is a commitment of time, energy and money. If you are not prepared to commit fully, then you should wait until you are.
The second step is to give Coach Sasha a call. The sessions fill up and there is not always availability for all ages and skill levels.
The third step is to come to your first session and see for yourself how Coach Sasha guides your water polo skills to an entire new level. He will transform your game and perhaps your life!
Personalized Attention
Sessions are customized to each athlete’s specific needs, ensuring fast, efficient, and sustainable improvement.
Focus on Fundamentals
So much of water polo is determined by the fundamentals; kick, body position and movement. Without great fundamentals, you’ll be limited in how far you can go.
Attention to Details
Subtle errors have far reaching effects. For instance, the angle of the wrist will impact the accuracy of the throw. Water polo is a precision sport and it’s the details that make you precise.
