Here is Derek's Bio: I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago where I discovered my love for water polo at 8 years old. I am an accomplished athlete, leading my high school team to a top-3 ranking in Illinois and earned a top 8 finish at the CWPA National Championships for Division I water polo at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I also earned many accolades as a masters athlete while traveling for tournaments across the country. I have many years of coaching experience with Lyons Township High School, the Olympic Development Program, and Roseville High School.
My focus is on providing a safe environment for athletes to grow into well-rounded people. My strength as a coach is teaching techniques, fundamentals, and game knowledge. I strongly believe in teaching holistic fitness as a path to a healthy lifestyle. I have an infectious passion for water polo, and I am excited to share that passion at Oakmont High School.
