Water Polo is a team water sport which consists of 6 six players
and a goal keeper per team. In our country (Philippines), a lot of people don't
know this sport and of course the players that represent our team. As far as I
know, all of these people started as swimmers in different colleges. My
brothers Juan Paolo and Francis Mark (2 guys standing at the middle) started as
swimmers from De La Salle St. Benilde and Mapua Institute of Technology
respectively.
One time, I went to Manila to visit my
brothers. They often tell me stories about the hard work and their dedication
to this sport. Every morning they train so hard to prepare for incoming events.
They look very exhausted every time I see them after training and eat a lot too
(like a lot).
Philippine Water Polo Team is a team our
country should really be proud of. They brought medals to our country and yet
few people only notice their love for our country. I hope people will be
inspired and start supporting our team.
