Coaches play a unique and indispensable role in Special Olympics around the world. Coaches provide
the sports skills and spirit that define a true athlete. In addition, coaches are role models and
character builders. Coaches give Special Olympics athletes the most immediate awareness of their own
worth, ability, courage and capacity to grow and improve. Special Olympics coaches:
- Obtain necessary facilities and equipment for training.
- Help to recruit athletes and assistant coaches.
- Assist athletes in learning sports skills and applying them in competitions.
- Encourage confidence and self-esteem through sport.
- Conduct demonstrations or join in community leagues.
- Start Unified Sports® teams.
Special Olympics coaches often find that the personal rewards received are equal to or even outweigh
the benefits they offer the athletes. Check out the following resources to learn more about coaching
