Hola from Los Alamitos,
The team has been working up a sweat it this heat! Since getting 3rd at the World League Super Final in Beijing, the team has amped up the training. We have had a solid month of training together here at Los Alamitos and we've taken full advantage of the time to grow as a team.
This past week, we were able to have a great experience playing with the Junior National Team. We made 4 teams of intermixed junior national and senior national team players. Every team played each other once and then had a championship game on the last night. It was a great week for us to get to know each other and every game was played with great energy. There are great things happening on the women's team from both the senior and junior teams! We were able to help each other prepare for our respective World Championships this summer.
Since we're camped out at the pool this month, it's safe to say I've gotten my fare share of the summer weather. So, while its hot out, I need something to cool me off. I stashed some great summer treats in the freezer at the pool thanks to Jamba Juice. The frozen yogurt and sorbet, are the perfect summer cool down at the pool. It's nutritious enough to enjoy in-between practices, and not feel guilty. The biggest plus for me was that it was yogurt and sorbet and had a really soft texture. I love the taste of these 'grown-up' popsicles and I would recommend grabbing a box of these delicious frozen yogurt and sorbet treats if you have a hot day at the beach or pool this summer!
Now we are off to Barcelona for World Championships! It will be a huge tournament for our team. Outside of the Olympic Games, World Championships is the next biggest thing. Worlds is a 16-team tournament and it will be a great test for us. So make sure to think of your USA Women's Water Polo team this July and keep up with how our games are going! I'll miss my Jamba Juice fix, but I'll keep you informed on our adventures abroad.
Jamba Junkie,
Tumua Anae
