Q&A with senior Sarah Wessinger

Sarah Horne, Broadcast Editor in Chief

   Q.   What goals did you have when you first started playing water polo?

  A.   “I did not really set any goals when I started out, besides wanting to make varsity which I achieved. After awhile I would pick one specific thing and try to get better at it. For example, right now I am trying to figure out how to do a successful lob shot.”

Q.   What is one of your favorite memories?

A.   “I remember getting Mac’n cheese pizza for the first time at our Napoleon Tournament and was a little apprehensive about it at first, but it turned out to be really good.”

Q.   What goal do you still want to achieve before graduating?

A.   “This year my main goal is to help the team get to state. I don’t want to graduate without knowing I tried my hardest to get us there.”

 Q.   What has being apart of the water polo team taught you?

  A.   “Being apart of the team has taught me that you have to work hard to get better and not take yourself too seriously.”

  Q.   What brought you to becoming a hole set player?

  A.    “Honestly I was forced into playing hole at first since no one else would play that position, but after I learned it I found I really liked it.”

  Q.   What advice do you have for people who might want to play water polo?

   A.   “My advice for anyone considering or wishing to play water polo is that it is a hard sport. It will be really hard at first and you might want to quit, but don’t. It is so worth it in the end it is so much fun. Also you become more of a family than just a team, so just keep at it and never give up.”
