Treading Water

When I started my first year of college, I had one goal in mind and it had nothing to do with school.

I wanted to earn a spot on the U.S. National Water Polo Team.

I never imagined that my new coach would be someone I looked up to.

Someone whose entire career I meticulously followed... and someone I had a misguided crush on.

The first moment I lock eyes with Fallon Harris is the moment everything changed.

The Olympics weren’t the only thing on my mind anymore.

He doesn't feel the same because everything that comes out of his mouth is anything but admiration.
