Pareto Polo

Hello and Welcome to the blog of Pareto Polo. The idea here is to cover all aspects of the game of water polo and make it easier to play, coach and make money from. 

Water Polo should be a sport that every aquatics athlete tries in their water based activities career. The hope is we can take a "complicated" game and show others that is it not in fact complicated but fairly simple. 

In this blog I will post each week about the 80/20 of water polo. The reason that the blog is called Pareto Polo is because Pareto's Principle. 

Pareto's principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, is a management and efficiency principle that states that roughly 80% of effects come from 20% of causes. It is named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that about 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.

“In any series of elements to be controlled, a selected small fraction, in terms of numbers of elements, always accounts for a large fraction in terms of effect.” - Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto

He also found that this pattern held true for other things, such as the distribution of wealth and the number of peas in a pod.Pareto's principle suggests that, in many cases, a small number of factors are responsible for the majority of outcomes. It can be applied to a wide range of situations, including business, economics, and personal productivity, to help identify the most important factors and allocate resources accordingly.

With the knowledge give my Pareto, I will jump into everything about water polo you can think of. Every part of the game that you need to be successful in the sport. Here is a list if some things I will cover of the coming weeks.
