I redshirted my freshman year , so I still currently have 2 years of eligibility left , and during those 2 years of eligibility , I will be getting my master's degree in entrepreneurship and innovation . And secondly , one of my aspirations is to make the 2028 Olympic Games . This last summer I was in Singapore competing in the World Aquatics World Championships with Team USA , and I hope to continue working with Team USA towards the 2028 Olympic goal .
Always remember to take a step back and have fun with the people around you , the people that are going through this difficult training this difficult tournament with you , um , and then that way you're always able to push through and really . Attain your goal . Hi , my name is Bernardo Herzer .
And there were some pretty high level players ahead of me , so there was definitely some challenges . I was able to play on the junior varsity team my freshman year uh with aspirations to make varsity as soon as possible . And as soon as I made varsity my sophomore year , I started to really try to dominate that position uh in goalkeeper and then I started to get ahead on the film aspect having film sent to coaches having film available for people to watch , um , and I feel like that was a big booster for me .
I did that by . Firing up my team when I could by getting saves in key moments by trying to direct my defense um and really being a presence in the cage that my team needed just a side note , I think that setting goals is super important in terms of career aspirations in general . Uh , for myself personally , I'm working to get my master's degree at USC now .
That experience really was , was life changing , um , in high school I really enjoyed the sport and had a passion for it and when that was kind of taken away from the COVID pandemic . And I really realized that I wanted to continue to pursue it and that's when I kind of made this radical change to go to Spain , um , secondary that showed collegiate coaches that I was dedicated um and that I really wanted it , uh , not that many people were willing to have such a big and radical change to continue to play their sport and to continue to develop for water polo . Recruitment begins I believe um your sophomore year towards the end could be junior year now .
