They know who they are and how much I appreciate them. ROLE MODELS: I have a few people that I have learnt so many things from, not only in water polo but also for my personal life. Tomaz Lasic played a big role in my early career and a lot of my technique stems from him. Eddie Dennis has taught me so much in goalkeeping over the last few years and I have become a more rounded player from that. Hopefully I can continue working with him.
