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.

 | Obtain necessary facilities and equipment for
training. |

|
| Assist athletes in learning sports skills and
applying them in competitions. |

sport. |

Dakota Adult Volunteer & Unified Partner Application) |

Special Olympics coaches often
find that the personal rewards received are equal to or even
outweigh the benefits they offer the athletes. Special Olympics
coaches have a unique opportunity to work with athletes in
competitive situations to assist in their training for life.
