Luck prefers the bravest – Maggie Steffens will remember this quote thoroughly. The US water polo women’s team captain had requested everyone through her IG post to support the national team with additional funds for Olympic participation. For the last three times, the American team has been earning the top laurel from the Olympic platform. So, to make it a quadruple, the players are not siding with any minuscule mistake in preparations.

Steffens’ plea for help was heard by Flavor Flav who came forward to help the whole team, promising that he would “use all my relationships and resources to help all y’all even more.” Just couple of days after this news, theUS water polo women’s team received another surprise.

Through its latest IG post, Team USA has disclosed that the US water polo women’s team will earn a chance to enjoy Taylor Swift’s performance live. It will happen in the same arena where Maggie Steffens and her teammates will appear to claim their fourth gold medal. The IG post displayed the clipping where the 3-time champion Olympic team couldn’t hold their joy after hearing the news. Eventually, the captain herself celebrated the rare moment in the comment box as well, with the lines, “Here we come!” However, a few days ago, the situation had remained starkly different.

In that duration, Maggie Steffens had to display her desperation for funds despite doing “a 2nd or 3rd job to support chasing the dream.” The 2-time Olympic gold medalist water polo team member, Kaleigh Gilchrist had also joined Maggie to strengthen their demand issue. Now, after achieving resources from the Public Enemy founding member, it’s time to extend the glorified run.

Despite taking a pivotal responsibility in the last three terms, Maggie Steffens does not consider herself the prime factor in the team’s success. Furthermore, standing at the brink of an unparalleled record of earning four straight Olympic gold medals, the veteran remains calm. Rather, she states, “I mean, it’s definitely a big deal. But, it’s not something you necessarily think about. One thing that we talk a lot about as a team is that each Olympic squad is its own independent journey.” Thus the anti-hero formula stated by Taylor Swift acts in the core of the group. Further proof of this comes from the coach’s statement. 

Coach Adam Krikorian has remained with the US water polo women’s team through thick and thin. So when the external reasons loomed over the participation chance of the team, the judicious coach counted on the unity of the experience and youth. “One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about this group is not just the leadership from top to bottom, but the willingness from the bottom to listen to those that have been there before,” he added. Eventually, the team that has idolized Taylor Swift’s song aesthetically, is going to watch her live from the ground of their highest success.
