Some athletes are born, some are made, and some refuse to acknowledge they are either – they just keep working.

Sun Devil water polo player Gao Ao is one of the latter. The sophomore attacker has been to the very edges of the earth mentally, physically, figuratively, and literally and has managed to hone her craft in the process.

But she simply states her accomplishments as if they aren't actually life-changing events that most athletes dream about – like being an Olympian.
