Jojo Walters

As an aspiring collegiate athlete from Dallas, TX, Jojo found it challenging to find quality recruiting opportunities and to meet coaches outside of California. Although she had the skills and potential to not only play in college, but to pursue a top D1 program at UCLA, Jojo lacked the amount of exposure that other athletes in water polo dense areas had.

When she discovered 6-8 Sports, Jojo realized that she could make her “biggest dream growing up” of playing at UCLA a reality. The platform and training programs opened doors that geography had previously closed, connecting her with the coaches and opportunities she needed to showcase her talent on a national stage.

“The collegiate showcases proved amazing opportunities to not only play in front of high level college coaches, but also talk face to face with them. In addition to the great coaching and training, I found the recruiting exposure to be super valuable. Camps, showcases and the Academy all provided opportunities to highlight talent and for college coaches to see my play.”

The 6-8 Platform

In partnership with the 6-8 training programs, Jojo found immense value from the 6-8 platform, where her stats from showcases and camps were recorded and interpreted for her. She could easily log into her 6-8 Mobile app profile and instantly see her strengths, areas for development, and overall athleticism score.

Coaches could also follow her from the 6-8 Dashboard, which provided even more data on her skillset as a powerful Attacker—giving recruiters the comprehensive view they needed to evaluate her potential.

Achieving The Dream

Jojo is now a Sophomore on the UCLA Women’s Water Polo Team and has reflected on how 6-8 helped her achieve her dream:

I’m so thankful for the experiences and opportunities from 6-8, and I’m beyond excited to continue my water polo career at UCLA. 6-8 was a huge part of making this happen! Go Bruins!
