Favorite Coach, Mentor, or Teacher at Santa Ynez:
Drake said that Karl Fredrickson, Joey Norcia, and John Lastra are his favorite coaches. “The reason why I chose John Lastra and Karl Fredrickson is because they were very influential, they taught me how to be a leader and to push myself to be the best I could be when they were my JV Water Polo coaches. I also chose Joey Norcia because he saw greatness in me that I didn’t, so he forced it out of me.”
