I was wondering if I could get some advice. I am in high school right now and am struggling a lot when I get pressed by somebody. Even if I try to eggbeater harder or create a bit of distance, I still struggle making good passes. Would really appreciate some help, thanks!
Your timing is pretty good, we just did a video on common mistakes players make when pressure passing. Keep a look out for that I would be curious if that would help you. Have you watched this one yet? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--aOoCJMD4sg.htmlsi=n_7OpASs0kG91DOV
I was wondering how it would be to try water polo out, however I have not a lot of experience in water in general, I’ve been watching some of your videos and they are really helpful, I’m going into tryout tomorrow and I have no idea what to expect. I’m very nervous I’m trying out for 12U waterpolo girls. I have no idea how bad/good I’m going to do, so if you could do a video on what waterpolo tryouts look like so I know what to expect? This is probably not going to get to you in time because I’m going to try outs tomorrow but oh well.
Yeah I’m not going to be able to get a video out, but I’ll give you my thoughts. Tryouts will vary by coach and the type of program, however there will be some common basics all coaches will want to see. The first is swimming, head down freestyle or some kind of time trial where they time you swimming a 100 yards or something. Next they are going to see if you can tread (eggbeater), from there they will go to any polo skills they want like passing technique. Swimming and eggbeater are the number 1 and number 2 things. Good luck!
That's a great idea for a video, I'll get on that. In the meantime, be in position to shot block by the time the offensive player catches the ball, in other words make sure you get into position when the ball is in the air, don't wait for the player to catch it. Get big and stay steady don't wave the arm around. Stay tuned I'll make a video to help as well. Thanks!
