Richard Corso, Head Coach

One of the most highly respected and successful water polo coaches in the world is now a member of the Diablo Water Polo family.

Richard Corso has served as head coach for both the United States Men's Olympic Team and the Canadian Men's National Team. Corso not only offers a superior knowledge of the sport of water polo, he possesses a competitive attitude that is sure to get the most out of his athletes.

One of water polo's most innovative thinkers in terms of training and match tactics, Corso's creed is defensive, attacking water polo. He served as the United States Men's Olympic Team head coach from 1992 to 1996, leading the United States to a seventh-place finish at the 1996 games in Atlanta and a gold medal at the 1995 Pan American Games.

Prior to assuming his role with Team USA, Corso served as head coach of the Canadian National Team, which finished fourth at the 1991 Pan American Games. He also gained international experience as the head coach of the USA National Junior Team (1984 to 1988), and as goalkeeper coach for the 1984 silver medal-winning and 2004 Olympic teams.

Corso began his head coaching career at Yale, where he led a club-varsity squad, and had previous coaching stops at UCLA, where he was assistant men's swimming and water polo coach. During his 10 years at UCLA, Corso helped the men's swim team to an NCAA runner-up finish in 1981 and an NCAA title in 1982, and an NCAA runner-up finish in men's water polo in 1979.

His energy, preparation, commitment and professionalism will have a lasting influence on American water polo for years to come.

A native of Queens, New York, Corso swam and played water polo at Southern Connecticut University, earning a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1977. He then completed his master's in kinesiology at Cal State Northridge in 1982, and earned a second master's degree in coaching science from Moscow State University in 1999. Corso and his wife, Catherine, have two children, daughters Meredith and Meghan, a standout freshman on the 2007 Cal women's water polo team.
