Misha Buchel
Head Coach
A Bit About Me
Misha has been a member of the Diablo coaching staff since 2005. He began his water polo life at Clayton Valley High School in Concord where he was a 1st Team All-NorCal player. After graduating from UCSD with a degree in Bioengineering, he began coaching the boys and girls teams at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, CA. Since moving to northern California in 2005 Misha has coached the varsity girls water polo team at Acalanes HS, leading them to multiple NCS championship games winning in 2016 (Division 2) & 2018 (undefeated season in Open Division). When he’s not coaching water polo, he’s either teaching math at Acalanes HS (where he was named Teacher of the Year in 2012), or spending time in the outdoors with his wife Brittany and sons Jonas and Peter.
