One of my favorite parts of my year is Special Olympic day. This year was no exception. I have coached for 20 years and am able to take a different approach these days. Now I run the meet. This means putting together volunteers to run it, making sure the coaches have everything that they need and making sure that the athletes have a great experience. I am a good people director. Someone told me I am just bossy which might be another way of saying it, but I can get people to where they need to go. This year I was able to combine Washington with Jefferson, Kennedy, and Linn-Mar and we had 50 volunteers from those four schools. It was a tremendous experience to see competing swim programs come together for one cause. This day has been my dream and this last Saturday we accomplished it.
Here is a quick clip that was on the news this weekend about it.
