Danielle Montenegro, the water polo coach at VMI, will work for USA Water Polo this upcoming year, as a head coach in the 16U Olympic Development Program.
“I’m excited to be a part of the ODP process,” Montenegro said. “It is an opportunity to help mentor and coach athletes attempting to enter the Olympic pipeline in the U.S. I will get to work alongside current and former national team members, and hope to learn a lot along the way.”
Montenegro, who started her duties this past weekend by working a camp at Brown University, is the head coach of the cadet team in the Northeast Region.
“Each camp is in a different area,” said Montenegro, who is entering her fifth year at the helm of the VMI water polo program. “This first one was at Brown University, the next at will be held at Marist, and the third is to be determined. I am coaching at the camps and evaluating the athletes that attend, to create a team of the top athletes in the Northeast zone. From there, we will compete at Regionals in Salt Lake City, Utah, with Nationals being held in Dallas, Texas.”
