SEAN TINER

(Copy of the card given to me by one of the USC coaches). ...Yesterday, I was invited to try out for next year's USC basketball team (to join the practice squad). ...Only to discover that I do not have any more collegiate eligibility, because I used all of my four years while playing two years of water polo at Brown .

(Enjoying life in Caines, Australia (2003)). In 2003, I was invited to compete in the Arafura Games in Darwin, Australia for water polo . This was year of the SARS global scare and consequentially the games were canceled. However, Australia still held a national water polo tournament and I competed with the team representing USA. We finished third and afterwards enjoyed a few days in Caines, Australia. I find this picture humorous, because my hair is so long, which is quintessential of my high school days and freshman year at Brown University.

( I didn't play my Junior and Senior seasons due to a lingering shoulder injury, but am excited that it is now fully rehabilitated.) Today, I enjoy a range of new sports, including golf, swimming, tennis, running, surfing & basketball. :)

I really enjoyed this quote and starting living by it. ...After all, the best way to confront your fears is to face them (heights, public speaking, new sports, etc.).
