Brian Shoemaker is possibly some of the greatest Water Polo Talent that has emerged from Florida. Playing under SFWP coach Istvan Csendes, he is now one of the top players in the country. He has successfully competed and made the US National team for the last 5 years and has repreented in Europe, Mexico and Canada. In Florida he dominated all throughout highschool, when he broke the still yet to be broken, school record for most goals in a playoff game(13) and most goals per game (4.7). Brian attended Cooper city highschool and was able to win them some very great titles.
For several years Brians goal has been to represent the Us in the 2012 olympics. He is so determined, that during his last year of highschool instead of being with his friends and having a good time, he moved to California, to have newer and tougher competition, as soon as he did, he made a huge impact on California water polo. During games he would be doubled and even triple teamed so he wouldn't be able to score, but somehow, he always found a way to. His abilities granted him some amazing college opportunities, offers from Berkely, UCLA, USC, etc. In the end he went to Univ. of Cal SB training under forme Olympian Wolf Wigo.
I found this post very interesting because I have never heard or him and also would not be able to name any water polo players. I like how you did someone from this area also. Its amazing how much he has accomplished. This posting gave me a bit of information that I would never have known.
