Session Overview

Brittany VanderGroef explains why strength and conditioning can change an athlete's long-term water polo development when it is age-appropriate, consistent, and connected to sport demands. The session covers strength progressions, energy-system training, durability, recovery habits, and how off-deck work supports better performance in the pool. This recording is useful for athletes and parents who want to understand the bigger picture behind training outside the water. Viewers should leave with a practical framework for building power, staying healthy, improving repeat-effort capacity, and making strength work support a full athletic career.
