Good morning from beautiful Providence, Rhode Island. I’m enjoying my time here at Brown University. It is an opportunity to work with both men’s and women’s water polo teams. I’m very grateful to Felix Mercado for giving me the opportunity to coach with him. The teams have both been very receptive to my Olympic and West Coast water polo expectations. I feel as if I’ve helped improve the water polo culture to some extent while allowing them to maintain their balance between academics and athletics. I am looking forward to seeing the student athletes exceed their own expectations.

Architecture: London Aquatic Center by Zaha Hadid: “..construction for the ‘london aquatics centre’ for the london 2012 summer olympics by zaha hadid architects is now complete..capable of holding 17,500 individuals at one moment, this facility will be the venue for the swimming, diving, synchronized swimming and water polo events. sheltering the sports events, athletes and supporters is an aluminum clad steel roof which spans 160 meters in length and 90 meters at its widest point. three substantial concrete columns effortlessly support the 3,000 ton sweeping overhead structure. the double curvature parabolic structure visually evokes the form of an undulating wave. on the interior, 850,000 tiles surface the pools, changing facilities and and floors. the cluster of concrete towers including the three meter springboards and diving platforms were formed and cast onsite..”  Hadidian, as only Hadid is able.
