Dad, Dad, and the World Cup | Adelaide News

Nathan Power, Australia’s water polo captain, is rewriting the script of elite sports fatherhood—juggling six months of parental leave from KPMG with leading the Sharks at the World Aquatics Cup in Sydney, where he’s one of two players bringing his baby along. The team’s vibe has shifted into “dad mode,” with coach Tim Hamill praising the culture of care it’s built. Power’s story highlights the overlooked need for paternal support in sports, while also capturing the bittersweet joy of chasing glory with his son Sebastian by his side. At 33, he knows his playing days may be winding down, making these moments even more precious. And with Sydney hosting the first major water polo event on home soil since 2007, the team’s homecoming is more than a game—it’s a celebration of family, legacy, and the future of global sport in Australia.
