About the Author
Ron O’Brien, head coach of the U.S. Olympic team since 1972, has produced more champions and coached more Olympic, World, and Pan American teams than any other coach in diving history. In 1982 his divers won all four World Championship gold medals--an achievement that no other coach has equaled. In 1984 and 1988, under O’Brien’s coaching, Greg Louganis won four Olympic gold medals, accomplishing the rare feat of back-to-back double gold medals. His divers have won more than 350 medals in national and international competitions.
After honoring Ron O’Brien as Outstanding Coach of the Year every year from 1979 to 1988, U.S. Diving named him its first national technical director. O’Brien is also director of diving for the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
O’Brien is renowned not only as a coach, but also as a diver. A two-time national champion himself, O’Brien was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1988.
