Adam Wright has lived a life immersed in aquatics since his earliest years. Trained in swimming by Long Beach legend Klaus Barth, Wright gravitated toward water polo starring for prep power Long Beach Wilson. From there it was off to UCLA where Wright balanced winning NCAA titles for the Bruins with a burgeoning career on the USA Water Polo National Team. Wright made his Olympic debut in 2004, the first of three Olympiads in which he would compete for Team USA. A winner of three Pan American Games Gold Medals, Wright earned his biggest international achievement in 2008, claiming Olympic Silver in Beijing. A multi-talented threat in the pool, Wright evolved from a volume scorer to deft facilitator who saw his skills in high demand both domestically and internationally. Prior to retiring after the 2012 Olympic Games, Wright competed for three club teams in Italy and spent a year with Dynamo Moscow in Russia. A repeat National Championship winner with the New York Athletic Club on home soil, Wright always had coaching in his sights. From part-time roles during his early playing days at Long Beach Wilson High School to his status now as head coach of the UCLA Men's and Women's Water Polo Teams, Wright remains invested in the sport. Most recently Wright has guided the UCLA men to three NCAA Championships in the last five years, elevating the Bruins to new heights.
