“Andrei and I go back close to four decades as opponents, teammates and later coaching colleagues working with athletes ranging from juniors to Olympians. I have always valued and benefitted from Andrei’s deep understanding of water polo. He brings not just his years of experience but a level of coaching expertise currently unmatched in Western Australia. The number of past and present household names of Australian and world water polo he has developed as juniors is a testament to it.”
