After 6 years, Special Olympics British Columbia has seen the results of changed expectations and focused skill acquisition programs. Our athletes are healthier, more independent and self-confident and they are achieving an incredible level of performance. I recommend this book to everyone.

As a PGA Teaching Pro and a Special Olympics golf coach, I found this program to be extremely valuable not only for coaching athletes with an intellectual disability but for coaching any young golfer. I recommend this method to everyone.

This approach gave me skills and helped me achieve goals I never thought were possible before.

A few years ago we were happy that SO athletes just knew basketball rules, now they play real basketball.
Overheard at an SO basketball tournament in Kelowna, BC.
Boys were not interested in sports growing up or in school, no coordination, concentration and had a hard time fitting in, I thought they just weren't to be sporty… after graduating I was getting worried they'd end up video game couch potatoes! I never thought that I could see such a transformation with my sons, they are confident, healthy, more independent and are so focused and successful at their sports, they train everyday.
