Maggie Steffens: Captaining Olympic TeamsOn episode thirty-five of Mindful Warrior Radio, we welcome Maggie Steffens. Maggie is a professional water polo player and four-time Olympian on Team USA. Named to the Women's National Team at 16, Maggie has continued to represent her country at every major international championship since. At 19, she was a member of the 2012 gold-winning squad at the London Olympics, where she played alongside her older sister, making them a truly dynamic duo! Not only did the Steffens sisters bring home gold, but Maggie tied the Olympic record with 21 goals and earned the title of team MVP.Four years later, Maggie led Team USA to a second consecutive gold medal as the captain of the U.S. Women's Water Polo team at the Rio Olympics. In 2019, she made history by leading the team to their first-ever three consecutive FINA World Championship titles. A year later, at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she helped the team secure yet another gold medal.Maggie won three National Championships (2014, 2015, and 2017) at Stanford University where she graduated with a degree in science, technology, and society in 2017. She also earned NCAA Tournament MVP honors, and received multiple accolades, including MPSF (Mountain Pacific Sports Federation) Player of the Year.Maggie continued her studies at Stanford, completing a master's degree in management, science, and engineering and then went on to play professionally in Budapest and Barcelona before returning to Long Beach, CA in the summer of 2019 to train for her third Olympic games.On Mindful Warrior Radio, Maggie tells us that the goal of leadership as a team captain is to “trust yourself enough to let go and trust your preparation.” She explains that the advantages of doing so are being able “to be yourself, not only out of the water but also in it, whether it's taking a risk, going for the shot, or swimming a bit faster when it matters. It's about building trust in yourself, and in turn, trusting others—your teammates, your coaches, and the shared mission of the team. Reaching that level of trust is hard, but it's a big part of what allows your light to shine. After all, it's hard to let that light shine if you don't have trust in yourself, others, and a common purpose.”About the leadership challenges of being a team captain, she says, ‘I'm constantly thinking about the team, even as I'm going to bed. Of course, I'm focused on how I can improve, but I also ask, what does the team need? What does each player need? How can I approach each situation? Being captain has really emphasized that responsibility. I'm always thinking about the team; that's just who I am. And it can be challenging to balance fostering team development and harmony while still putting in the effort to become the person I want to be.”To learn more about Mindful Warrior and Mindful Warrior Radio, please follow us on Instagram @therealmindfulwarrior and check out our website at www.mindfulwarrior.com

They say good things come in threes. Maggie Steffens hopes they come in fours. Steffens is the team captain for the U.S. Olympic Women's Water Polo Team. The team has won three straight Olympic gold medals. Winning a fourth would make history as no team, men's or women's, has won four straight gold medals. We caught up with Steffens and her team at a sold-out exhibition game at Long Beach City College. The crowd was packed with female teenage club players. "I was once that little girl on a pool deck looking up and seeing role models and saying, that's something I want to do," Steffens said. Steffens' team is a team is a mix of veterans and first-time Olympians. She leads with an Olympic mindset grounded in gratitude with an eye on mentorship for the next generation of players. Steffens says, "Going into this Olympics gratitude is one of my biggest things. How cool is it I get this opportunity and how can I make this torch a little brighter for the future of our sport?" Coach Adam Krikorian says his team tries not to focus exclusively on winning gold again. "The reality is this team has never won a gold medal. And we have people that have never been Olympians before. So this is their first experience," Krikorian says. Bottom line: leadership and experience will matter greatly this summer in Paris.

Abby Dahlkemper and Maggie Steffens both graduated high school in the same year, as part of the Class of 2011. And for the past decade, they've been among the very best players in their sport. Both are competing in the Tokyo Olympics this summer. One has gone with a focus on stopping goals, while the other will be trying to score as many as possible. Dahlkemper is a starting defender on the US Women's National Soccer Team. And while she's already a World Cup champion, this is Dahlkemper's first Olympics. Steffens — who graduated from Monte Vista High in Danville the same year Dahlkemper graduated from Sacred Heart Prep in Atherton — is now at her third Summer Games as a member of the U.S. Women's Water Polo Team. In the second of our two Olympian-themed episode, we revisited the rise of the two 2011 graduates through memories and tales of high school coaches who still remain in contact with their former players to this day. Join us as we highlight two of the Bay Area's most successful female athletes of the past decade. This is SportStories.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Maggie Steffens sits down with Kelley O’Hara to discuss life atop the water polo world. Maggie brings us on her journey from being a little sister tagging along at the pool to competing alongside her heroes at the London Olympics.

“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.
