Coach Brandon’s Notes:
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Charlie her entire high school swimming and water polo and still currently work with her for her nutritional and strength and conditioning training at La Salle University.
Charlie is one of the most technical players in the pool and is always the dark horse, People do not realize just how good and knowledgeable she really is because of how humble and quiet she is.
Her athletic ability and work ethic both in the pool and weight room is second to no one. I can not wait to see just how far she takes it. Maybe the Olympic women’s Waterpolo team? It certainly is not out of her reach.
