Honestly? Opportunity. It starts with money, or willingness for you or your parents to give up everything that isn't training.

I was in the service with some incredible shots. I've been on the range with some pretty incredible shots. Most of them would never have the opportunity for any number of reasons.

Some of that comes down to simply money. Flavor Flav is sponsoring our women's water polo team because some of them were working three jobs while training to stay afloat. Not everyone wants to or even can do that.

That is really fucking cool that Flavor Flav is doing that.
