About this listen

In this episode of Waterpolo Expert Talk, we sit down with Jessica Godro, goalkeeper of the Canadian women’s national team. Jessica shares her unique journey into water polo, starting at 13 years old — considered late on the international stage — and how her multi-sport background in basketball, volleyball, and martial arts built the foundation for her success and longevity as an athlete. She reflects on her international career, including six World Championships, three Pan American Games, and the Olympic Games, as well as her experience playing professionally in Spain. The conversation dives deep into the differences between North American and European sports systems, from the accessibility of clubs to the frequency of competitive games. Jessica explains the specific challenges Canada faces as a large country: limited competition opportunities for youth, costly travel, and fewer high-level matches compared to nations like Hungary or Serbia. This episode offers valuable insights into the development of water polo across continents, the importance of diverse athletic foundations, and what it takes to compete at the highest level. 👉 Tune in now to hear Jessica’s inspiring story and gain a fresh perspective on the global game of water polo. Don’t forget to follow the podcast and share this episode with fellow water polo fans!
