In the Olympic era of women's water polo, one of the most well-known names in the sport is Brenda Villa. The longtime captain of the USA Water Polo Women's National Team, Villa took part in four Olympic Games winning a medal every time. Just five feet, four inches tall, the diminutive Villa defied expectation becoming a dominant force on both ends of the pool. She capped her storied career with a gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. A three-time FINA World Champion, Villa bridged the gap from the pioneers of the Team USA women to the modern-day group that continues on a dynastic run. A native of Commerce, California, Villa first played high school water polo with boys before girls programs were available. From there, she headed to Stanford University where she won the 2002 NCAA title and was named the Cutino Award recipient as the best player in the college game. Named FINA Player of the Decade in 2010, Villa was also named Pac-12 Player of the Century in 2016. She has stayed close to the sport as a club and high school coach while taking on governance roles within the Women's Sports Foundation and Pan American Aquatics in addition to a spot on the USA Water Polo Board of Directors. She is a co-founder of the Brenda Villa Foundation, an organization focusing on increasing water safety and expanding diversity in aquatic sports.Instagram: @brenda4villa__________________SGV Master Key Podcast:www.sgvmasterkey.cominfo@sgvmasterkey.com

“What can I do now? I personally am like, I can get faster, I can get stronger. I can get more intelligent, mentally I can get stronger. I can become a better teammate, a better friend, a better leader. And  that's motivation within itself,  the opportunity to improve.” - Maggie SteffensToday's guest is Maggie Steffens, Captain of the U.S. Women's Olympic Water Polo team. Our conversation with Maggie was a blast. We touched on everything from how she handled the mental challenge created by the pandemic, her approach to showing up big in high pressure situations and the unique approach she takes with her teammates when it comes to leadership. Throughout our exploration of her mindset on these and so many other topics, the recurring theme that stood out to us was the need in life  to be adaptable. It's very clear that this is one of the key characteristics that has helped Maggie excel at such a high level in her sport for so many years. As you listen to our conversation, you'll discover a few tips you can apply to your life to be a little more adaptable. Show Notes(3:18) Where you can find Maggie and where training is taking place…(5:44) The impact of the 2020 Olympics being cancelled…(8?49) Taking advantage of the “opportunities” that Covid provided…(14:50) “We found other ways to test our bodies and test our minds, and stay active and kind of try to find creative ways to also stay connected through that as well.” Being creative and adaptive in training…(16:20) A last-second shot in 2017…(20:44) “I asked the three biggest girls and then the three strongest girls on our Stanford team to stay after practice for five minutes.
