Dylan Woodhead, a 25-year-old water polo player from San Anselmo, California, is making waves on the international stage. Standing at 6-foot-7, Woodhead is a two-time Olympian, having represented the United States in the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games.
Born and raised in San Anselmo, Woodhead's journey to the Olympics is a testament to his dedication and passion for the sport. He began his water polo career at a young age, honing his skills at Sleepy Hollow Aquatics (SHAQ) and later at Stanford University, where he won the NCAA championship in 2019.
According to Team USA, Woodhead's international experience has been a vital part of his growth as an athlete. He currently plays professionally for Vouliagmeni Nautical Club in the Greek Water Polo League, competing against top talent for nine months a year.
Woodhead's Olympic journey has not been without its challenges. Despite scoring three goals for Team USA during the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, the team finished in a disappointing sixth place. However, Woodhead remains focused on his goal of winning a gold medal at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
Off the court, Woodhead enjoys sports analytics, surfing, open water swimming, rapid prototyping, and cooking. He also has a strong support system in his family, including his brother Quinn Woodhead, who is the first reserve alternate for the US men's national team and could be called to action in Paris if needed.
