About Donovan Sinton Expertise I can answer questions about different levels of development amongst young athletes. I can answer youth sport, high school, and even college level questions regarding physical, mental, and organizational issues with kids and sports. I would like to keep the questions specific to sports, coaching, drills, etc. I am not a psychiatrist or licensed physician although the psychosomatic (mind-body) connection as it pertains to sports is certainly within my expertise and interest
Experience I have over twenty years experience with coaching and advising young people at the youth, high school, and college level regarding physical and mental exercises, habits, and overall well being. I have been lucky enough to have been both an athlete and coach at the NCAA level

Question My 9 yr old daughter is interested in playing water polo. Where can I find a place where she can learn and play. We live in Broomall, PA 19008. This is near Main Line Philadelphia.
Answer Gigi,
Water polo is not exactly my specialty, but I found this website for American Water Polo (www.americanwaterpolo.org). As luck would have it, they are located in Bridgeport, PA (about 13 miles from you). I would start here, but if all else fails, a trip down to your local high school for a discussion with the water polo/swim coach will probably be more than informative. A coach is always going to enjoy hearing about a 9 year old with an interest in their sport. I'd bet they'd be more than willing to help.
I hope this helps, Gigi. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
