What is the hardest thing for a beginner water polo player?



I'm playing club level in college this fall.

Wow, Todd's answer is a joke...not really an answer at all...fitness and experience....that's so vague it covers every difficulty of the sport without saying whats easier and harder. I would expect more from a "national team player" haha.

I would say fitness is a relatively easy thing to get under control, especially in high school when you're probably eating healthy because of what your parents give etc...all this takes is hard work.

skill with positioning, and shooting is much harder to develop, and requires you to be fit to a certain degree.

All that aside, for a beginner, I'd say the hardest thing to learn is the flow of the game...by that I mean getting to a point where you know the game so well you naturally make decisions like taking off early, when not to fake out the goalie, and when you pass instead of shoot.

i'd probably say fitness and experience anyone can pick up and throw a ball in a swimming pool but until you know what to do and how to get into good positions it'll be hard
i've played national league water polo and national school water polo at top level
getting the horse to stay in the water
For me the hardest thing was eggbeatering and applying everything we learned during practice in a game.
