Purdue Diving Coach Adam Soldati Steps Down Due to ALS Diagnosis

Adam Soldati, renowned for his exceptional contributions to Purdue University’s diving program, is stepping away from coaching following a diagnosis of ALS. Over his tenure, Soldati not only cultivated champions but also shaped well-rounded individuals who excelled both in athletics and academics.
Among his most notable proteges is David Boudia, a four-time Olympic medalist. Yet, Soldati’s influence extended far beyond producing Olympians. He nurtured Big Ten Champions, NCAA Champions, and athletes who valued their education and developed into men and women of strong character.
In a fair and just world, Adam Soldati would remain at Purdue indefinitely, enjoying life with his wife and six children. Unfortunately, life can be incredibly unfair. His battle with ALS, a devastating disease, has compelled him to step down. This serves as a poignant reminder to cherish our loved ones and make the most of every moment.
Despite stepping back, Soldati’s legacy will persist. He plans to remain involved with the program and diving community through the upcoming Olympic games. David Boudia, his esteemed protege, will now lead the Purdue diving program, ensuring Soldati’s influence continues to shape future champions.
To support Soldati and his family during this challenging time, a GoFundMe campaign has been established to help cover medical expenses. Contributions of any amount would greatly aid this remarkable figure in the Purdue community.
