Coaching staff

Hi, my name is Illy, and I am so excited to be the new Tahoma Water Polo Coach!! My water polo journey began my freshman year of high school with Tahoma Water Polo Club and continued with Northwest Water Polo Club. It wasn’t the competitions that made me fall in love with this sport, rather the community it creates. That is why I am here. I want to carry on, contribute, and create a community for girls to feel welcome, excited, and empowered. 

“Don’t focus on what can happen in a month or in a year, focus only on the 24 hours ahead of you; and what you can do to become better and closer to the person you want to be.” -This is my favorite quote at the moment because it is the roadmap to success. Growth is my main focus of the season; growth in mindsets, in skills, in our team, and individually. I am most excited to get to know all of the girls on the team, and to support all of the dreams we hold. Can I get a “BEARS!” ON 3, 1…2…3…
