David Mickle

Coach

4 year Varsity Letterman at Langley High in Virginia. 3rd place in Virginia H.S. Championships. Top 10 in Conference Meets for U.C.S.B 1977 – 1980. Senior Diver and J.O. Coach for Irvine Aquatics with Larry Brennan 1980- 1984. J.O. MVN with Ron O’Brien and Jeff Shaffer 1984- 1985. Saddleback College Diving Coach with Flip Darr 1985- 1987. Very proud coach with CVD since 2005! I always look forward to coming to practice each and every day at Crown Valley. Watching the divers improve over the years has been extremely exciting.  I have watched many CVD divers grow from their first day of practice to make Nationals within such a very short time. From Claire Bear holding the record for doing the best Belly Flop, and Tinkerbell (Ally) winning nationals and winning CIF as a freshmen!  I am so proud!  I’ll miss the divers graduating from High School and going to college but I’m sure they’ll return to always be part of the team. Our coaching staff is great and I am considering changing my last name to Wilson because they have become my adopted brothers and sister.  The Crown Valley Divers team will always be my Dream Team!! If you want to see my wiggle, you must rip your dive.
