On this week's Counter Attack we recap a huge rivalry weekend in college water polo among the top four teams in the sport. We also feature a Big Conversation with Team USA Junior and Youth National team star Jett Taylor on his unprecedented signing Club Natació Atlètic Barceloneta as a high school senior.

From the pool deck to lifelong lessons. 🤽🏻‍♂️ In this video from the @PositiveCoachUS 2026 San Diego Game Changer Awards and Benefit, five time Olympian and Silver Medalist Jesse Smith reflects on the impact of his @PepperdineMWP and @TeamUSA coach Terry Schroeder. From climbing Pepperdine’s famous “stairway to hell” alongside his players, to leading with love rather than fear, Terry proved that being a great coach goes a lot further than scoreboard wins. His focus on the mind, body and character of every athlete to prepare them for life after the season is done.
