Candice
Phillippe…a powerful player!
"I've
been playing water polo for more than half my life!" says
Candice Phillippe a charismatic 17 year old. Further
investigation reveals she first gripped a water polo ball at
age 6. It was a family sport, her father played, her older
brother had begun playing and Candice wanted to join the fun.
Fun being the operative word--it's what she's been having ever
since. "I love spending time with friends, playing as a
team, training hard and setting goals." It has paid off
in many ways, in January of this year Candice was selected as
a member of the Canadian Youth Pan Am team. She and her
teammates traveled to Mexico City for the Games and returned
wearing gold medals. In March she'll be off to Hawaii for the
Aloha Tournament and the Rainbow Classic, "I love sharing
the enjoyment of the sport with everyone".
Candice Phillippe is a strong, fast, powerful player on the
rise!
