In this episode Shawn has a fun conversation with Adam Huff, President of Utah High School Water Polo Association, Men’s Cadet ODP Coach, and Head Coach of Murray Spartan Water Polo and Murray High School Swimming. He discusses his experience as one of eight siblings that played water polo, and how his early opportunities molded him and built his current coaching philosophies. In his own terms, Adam was shanghaied into board service, but this does not diminish his contributions to Utah water polo. Adam and the rest of The Utah High School Water Polo Association board are working to build consensus for a strategic plan to support high school and club water polo.
