Adrian Weinberg

Weinberg was born on November 25, 2001, in Los Angeles, California to Mr. and Mrs. Jon Weinberg. He started swimming at age seven, and later tried out with an area youth water polo team. Initially a position player, he later tried out goalkeeper and immediately, "he had found his spot". At Oaks Christian, where he graduated in 2019, and was trained and managed by Head Coach Jack Kocur, Weinberg was a four-year letterman in water polo and helped the school to the 2016 Division 3 championship and an appearance in the 2018 Division 1 championship. ==University of California Berkeley==

Weinberg attended the University of California, Berkeley, under Head Coach Kirk Everist and initially intended on redshirting as a freshman, due the California Golden Bears having a returning starter and All-American at goalkeeper. Since taking over the Men's water polo team in 2002, Everist has led his teams to five NCAA National titles. However, the head coach convinced him to try to play, and Weinberg ultimately won the starting job in his first year. He became one of the top goalkeepers nationally and started 22 of 23 games, recording 217 saves while being named honorable mention All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) and honorable mention All-American by the Association of College Water Polo Coaches (ACWPC). In 2021, Weinberg again led the MPSF in saves per game and in total saves, being named second-team All-American, second-team All-MPSF and helping the Golden Bears to the NCAA national championship while being named to the NCAA Championship All-Tournament team. He returned for a final season in 2023 and won his third-straight national championship, having 200 saves on the year. ==International career==

Weinberg was a member of the USA Water Polo program from a young age; he competed internationally for the Development Team & Youth National Team in 2015 and for the Cadet National Team in 2016. ==2024 Paris Olympics==

Weinberg was on the men's water polo team at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris under Head Olympic Coach Brian Flacks that won the team bronze medal in the 2024 Olympic water polo team competition. Named the best goalkeeper at the 2024 Olympics, he was credited with the most saves, the third best save percentage, and the second most powerplay saves. He was credited with a goal, in addition to two penalty shootout victories, in which he saved two penalties each. Weinberg helped lead the team to the Bronze medal after a 11-8 shootout victory over Hungary. ==References==
