Orli Cooper - USA Water Polo Pan American Games

I am honored to be chosen to join the Youth National Team to compete in the Youth Pan American games in Brazil this spring. This exciting opportunity is also a qualifying tournament for the Youth World Championships in 2024. I have been learning many new skills as I have started training at this level. It has been inspiring to have the opportunity to work with the remarkable coaching staff as I have progressed through the Olympic Development Program. I am eager to continue to grow as I test my skills as an athlete at the international level. These funds will be used to cover the cost of my travel and lodging for my time in Brazil.

Water Polo is a sport that continually challenges me to grow as a person and an athlete. I am grateful for the players that challenge me every day and the support of the community around me. I would not be playing at this level without the support you have shown me leading up to this point. I appreciate your consideration.
