  Elsa
• 0:46
  Ramon,
• 0:46
  my
• 0:46
  partner
• 0:47
  here,
• 0:47
  take
• 0:48
  it
• 0:48
  away.
• 0:49
  First
• 0:50
  of
• 0:50
  all,
• 0:50
  thank
• 0:50
  you
• 0:51
  all
• 0:51
  for
• 0:51
  being
• 0:51
  here
• 0:52
  with
• 0:52
  us
• 0:52
  today.
• 0:52
  I
• 0:52
  know
• 0:53
  you've
• 0:53
  got
• 0:53
  this
• 0:53
  big
• 0:53
  event
• 0:54
  coming
• 0:54
  up
• 0:54
  and
• 0:54
  I
• 0:55
  know
• 0:55
  probably
• 0:55
  every
• 0:56
  minute
• 0:56
  of
• 0:56
  your
• 0:56
  time
• 0:57
  is
• 0:58
  being
• 0:58
  invested
• 0:58
  in
• 0:58
  that
• 0:59
  and
• 0:59
  getting
• 0:59
  it
• 0:59
  off
• 0:59
  the
• 1:00
  ground.
• 1:01
  We're
• 1:01
  talking
• 1:01
  about
• 1:01
  about
• 1:02
  Special
• 1:02
  Olympics
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  I
• 1:03
  think
• 1:04
  there
• 1:04
  is
• 1:05
  a
• 1:05
  tendency
• 1:05
  for
• 1:05
  people
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  kind
• 1:08
  of
• 1:08
  commingle
• 1:09
  it
• 1:09
  with
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  Paralympics.
• 1:11
  But
• 1:12
  can
• 1:12
  you
• 1:12
  make
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  distinction
• 1:14
  for
• 1:14
  us
• 1:14
  on
• 1:15
  what
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  difference
• 1:16
  is
• 1:16
  between
• 1:16
  the
• 1:17
  two
• 1:17
  and
• 1:17
  how
• 1:18
  long
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  Special
• 1:18
  Olympics
• 1:19
  have
• 1:19
  have
• 1:19
  been
• 1:20
  around?
• 1:22
  Sure.
• 1:22
  I'll
• 1:23
  jump
• 1:23
  in
• 1:23
  and
• 1:24
  talk
• 1:24
  about
• 1:25
  Special
• 1:26
  Olympics.
• 1:26
  Thank
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  so
• 1:27
  much
• 1:27
  for
• 1:27
  having
• 1:28
  us.
• 1:28
  And
• 1:28
  we're
• 1:29
  in
• 1:29
  a
• 1:29
  really
• 1:29
  exciting
• 1:30
  time,
• 1:30
  so
• 1:30
  hopefully
• 1:31
  we'll
• 1:31
  be
• 1:31
  able
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  talk
• 1:31
  a
• 1:32
  little
• 1:32
  bit
• 1:32
  about
• 1:33
  our
• 1:33
  USA
• 1:34
  Games
• 1:35
  competition
• 1:36
  coming
• 1:36
  up
• 1:36
  here
• 1:37
  in
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  middle
• 1:39
  of
• 1:39
  June.
• 1:39
  But
• 1:40
  Special
• 1:40
  Olympics
• 1:41
  is
• 1:41
  a
• 1:42
  year
• 1:42
  round
• 1:43
  sports
• 1:43
  organization
• 1:44
  for
• 1:45
  children
• 1:45
  and
• 1:45
  adults
• 1:46
  with
• 1:46
  intellectual
• 1:47
  disabilities.
• 1:48
  So
• 1:48
  our
• 1:49
  athletes
• 1:49
  are
• 1:50
  of
• 1:50
  all
• 1:50
  ages.
• 1:52
  They
• 1:52
  train
• 1:53
  and
• 1:53
  compete
• 1:54
  in
• 1:54
  all
• 1:54
  different
• 1:55
  sports
• 1:55
  for
• 1:56
  all
• 1:56
  different
• 1:56
  abilities.
• 1:57
  We
• 1:58
  also
• 1:58
  have
• 1:58
  pro
• 1:58
  programs
• 1:59
  where
• 1:59
  unified
• 2:00
  programs
• 2:01
  where
• 2:01
  individuals
• 2:02
  with
• 2:02
  and
• 2:02
  without
• 2:03
  intellectual
• 2:03
  disabilities
• 2:05
  compete
• 2:05
  on
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  same
• 2:06
  team
• 2:06
  together.
• 2:07
  And
• 2:07
  so
• 2:08
  a
• 2:08
  common
• 2:08
  misconception
• 2:10
  in
• 2:10
  addition
• 2:10
  to
• 2:12
  the
• 2:13
  difference
• 2:14
  between
• 2:14
  Paralympics
• 2:15
  is
• 2:15
  also
• 2:15
  this
• 2:16
  idea
• 2:16
  that
• 2:16
  Special
• 2:17
  Olympics
• 2:17
  is
• 2:18
  just
• 2:18
  one
• 2:18
  big
• 2:19
  event
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  year
• 2:19
  when
• 2:20
  actually
• 2:21
  here
• 2:21
  in
• 2:22
  Southern
• 2:22
  California
• 2:23

• 2:23

• 2:24
  over
• 2:24
  30,000
• 2:25
  participants
• 2:26
  from

  San
• 2:27
  Luis
• 2:27
  Obispo
• 2:28
  down
• 2:28
  to
• 2:29
  San
• 2:29
  Diego
• 2:29
  that
• 2:30
  are
• 2:30
  training
• 2:31
  and
• 2:31
  competing
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  schools
• 2:33
  in
• 2:33
  their
• 2:34
  communities
• 2:35
  every
• 2:35
  day.
• 2:36
  This
• 2:37
  month
• 2:38
  alone
• 2:38
  we
• 2:38
  have
• 2:39
  over
• 2:39

  different
• 2:42
  communities
• 2:42
  across

  So

  you

• 9:09
  and

  I

  with

  her.

  Bye

  By

  Don't,
• 9:14
  don't
• 9:15
  tell
• 9:15
  anyone,

  Because

  embarrass
• 9:17
  her.
• 9:17
  She's

  witty,
• 9:26
  quick
• 9:26
  and
• 9:26
  funny.
• 9:26
  But
• 9:27
  yes,
• 9:28
  these
• 9:28
  types
• 9:28

• 9:50
  different

  takes

  lot
• 9:52
  of

  commitment
• 9:53
  and
• 9:53
  follow
• 9:53
  through
• 9:55
  and
• 9:56
  time.
• 9:57
  And
• 9:58
  those
• 9:58
  things
• 9:58
  are
• 9:59
  important
• 10:00
  in
• 10:00
  the
• 10:00
  big
• 10:00
  picture
• 10:01
  in

  life.

  So,

  you
• 10:03

  Commend

  on,
• 10:06
  because
• 10:07
  there's
• 10:08
  a
• 10:08
  reason
• 10:08
  I
• 10:09
  am
• 10:09
  not
• 10:09
  an
• 10:09
  athlete,
• 10:11
  not
• 10:12
  a
• 10:12
  reason,
• 10:12
  many
• 10:13
  reasons
• 10:13
  why
• 10:13
  I'm
• 10:14
  not
• 10:14
  an
• 10:14
  athlete.
• 10:14
  But,
• 10:15
  but,
• 10:15
  but,
• 10:16
  you
• 10:16
  know,
• 10:16
  that's.
• 10:16
  That's
• 10:17
  something
• 10:17
  that
• 10:18
  you
• 10:18
  shouldn't
• 10:18
  take
• 10:18
  lightly
• 10:19
  because
• 10:19
  those
• 10:19
  skills
• 10:20
  and
• 10:21
  that
• 10:21
  commitment
• 10:22
  and
• 10:22
  dedication
• 10:22
  applies
• 10:23
  to
• 10:23
  so
• 10:23
  many
• 10:23
  areas
• 10:24
  in
• 10:24
  life,
• 10:24
  not
• 10:25
  just
• 10:25
  your
• 10:26
  sports.
• 10:27
  So
• 10:28
  congratulations
• 10:29
  to
• 10:29
  you
• 10:29
  for
• 10:30
  showing
• 10:30
  that
• 10:31
  commitment
• 10:31
  your
• 10:31
  whole
• 10:31
  life.
• 10:32
  Thanks.
• 10:32
  I
• 10:33
  do.
• 10:33
  I
• 10:33
  want
• 10:33
  to,
• 10:33
  want
• 10:34
  to,
• 10:34
  want
• 10:34
  to
• 10:34
  stay
• 10:34
  on
• 10:35
  inclusion
• 10:35
  for
• 10:35
  a
• 10:36
  second,
• 10:36
  though,
• 10:36
  if
• 10:36
  we
• 10:36
  could.
• 10:37
  And
• 10:37
  Kelly,
• 10:38
  let
• 10:38
  me
• 10:38
  have
• 10:39
  you
• 10:39
  kind
• 10:39
  of
• 10:39
  pop
• 10:40
  in
• 10:40
  on
• 10:40
  this
• 10:40
  one,
• 10:40
  because
• 10:41
  I
• 10:41
  think,
• 10:42
  you
• 10:42
  know,
• 10:42
  when
• 10:43
  we
• 10:43
  talk
• 10:43
  about,
• 10:44
  you
• 10:44
  know,
• 10:44
  young
• 10:44
  people
• 10:45
  growing
• 10:45
  up
• 10:45
  and
• 10:46
  being
• 10:46
  included
• 10:47
  in
• 10:48
  things,
• 10:49
  it's
• 10:49
  almost
• 10:50
  like
• 10:50
  a
• 10:50
  foregone
• 10:50
  conclusion.
• 10:51
  It's
• 10:52
  not
• 10:52
  something
• 10:52
  that
• 10:53
  seems
• 10:54
  special.
• 10:54
  It's
• 10:55
  just
• 10:55
  something
• 10:55
  we
• 10:55
  do.
• 10:56
  Right.
• 10:56
  But
• 10:57
  then
• 10:57
  when
• 10:57
  it
• 10:57
  comes
• 10:57
  to
• 10:57
  those
• 10:58
  who
• 10:58
  have
• 10:58
  special
• 10:58
  needs,
• 10:59
  inclusion
• 11:00
  is
• 11:00
  a
• 11:00
  big
• 11:01
  deal.
• 11:01
  And
• 11:02
  can
• 11:02
  you
• 11:02
  kind
• 11:02
  of
• 11:02
  put
• 11:02
  that
• 11:02
  in
• 11:03
  perspective
• 11:03
  for
• 11:03
  us
• 11:04
  in
• 11:04
  addition
• 11:04
  to
• 11:05
  what
• 11:05
  Elsa
• 11:05
  was
• 11:05
  saying?
• 11:07
  Yeah.
• 11:07
  And
• 11:07
  actually,
• 11:08
  I
• 11:08
  was
• 11:08
  just
• 11:10
  watching
• 11:10
  a
• 11:10
  video
• 11:11
  of
• 11:11
  one
• 11:11
  of
• 11:12
  our.
• 11:12
  One
• 11:12
  of
• 11:13
  Brandon's
• 11:13
  fellow
• 11:14
  athletes,
• 11:14
  Dustin
• 11:15
  Plunkett,
• 11:15
  talking
• 11:16
  to
• 11:18
  an
• 11:18
  elementary
• 11:19
  school
• 11:20
  about
• 11:22
  his
• 11:22
  experience
• 11:23
  growing
• 11:23
  up.
• 11:24
  And
• 11:24
  as
• 11:25
  someone
• 11:26
  that
• 11:27
  people
• 11:28
  looked
• 11:28
  at
• 11:28
  as
• 11:29
  different,
• 11:29
  he
• 11:30
  was
• 11:30
  telling
• 11:30
  all
• 11:31
  of
• 11:31
  these
• 11:31
  young
• 11:31
  students
• 11:33
  that
• 11:33
  when
• 11:34
  he
• 11:34
  was
• 11:34
  their
• 11:34
  age,
• 11:35
  he
• 11:35
  was
• 11:36
  bullied,
• 11:36
  he
• 11:37
  was
• 11:37
  called
• 11:37
  stupid.
• 11:38
  He
• 11:38
  was,
• 11:39
  you
• 11:39
  know,
• 11:39
  asked
• 11:39
  what's
• 11:40
  wrong
• 11:40
  with
• 11:40
  him.
• 11:41
  And
• 11:42
  what
• 11:43
  was
• 11:43
  so
• 11:43
  powerful
• 11:44
  is,
• 11:44
  to
• 11:44
  be
• 11:45
  honest,
• 11:45
  whether
• 11:45
  anyone
• 11:46
  in
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  audience
• 11:47
  had
• 11:47
  any
• 11:47
  kind
• 11:47
  of
• 11:48
  a
• 11:48
  disability
• 11:48
  or
• 11:49
  not,
• 11:50
  you
• 11:50
  saw
• 11:50
  the
• 11:50
  kids
• 11:51
  understanding
• 11:51
  that
• 11:52
  kids,
• 11:52
  you
• 11:52
  know,
• 11:52
  at
• 11:53
  that
• 11:53
  age,
• 11:53
  there
• 11:54
  was
• 11:54
  probably
• 11:55
  many
• 11:55
  people
• 11:56
  in
• 11:56
  that
• 11:56
  room
• 11:56
  that
• 11:56
  also
• 11:57
  had
• 11:57
  been
• 11:57
  called
• 11:58
  names.
• 11:59
  Right.
• 11:59
  And
• 11:59
  then
• 11:59
  Dustin
• 12:00
  talked
• 12:00
  about
• 12:01
  how
• 12:02
  as
• 12:03
  young
• 12:03
  kids,
• 12:04
  what
• 12:04
  you
• 12:04
  can
• 12:05
  do
• 12:06
  is
• 12:07
  just,
• 12:07
  if
• 12:07
  you
• 12:07
  see
• 12:08
  someone
• 12:08
  sitting
• 12:09
  by
• 12:09
  themselves
• 12:10
  at
• 12:10
  lunch,
• 12:11
  just
• 12:11
  invite
• 12:12
  them
• 12:12
  to
• 12:12
  join
• 12:12
  you.
• 12:13
  So
• 12:13
  he
• 12:13
  brought
• 12:14
  his
• 12:14
  experience
• 12:14
  and
• 12:15
  talked
• 12:15
  about
• 12:15
  what,
• 12:16
  as
• 12:16
  kids,
• 12:17
  you
• 12:17
  can
• 12:17
  do
• 12:17
  differently
• 12:18
  at
• 12:19
  an
• 12:19
  early
• 12:19
  age
• 12:19
  to
• 12:20
  kind
• 12:20
  of
• 12:20
  curb
• 12:21
  the
• 12:22
  path
• 12:23
  of
• 12:24
  exclusion
• 12:24
  or
• 12:25
  people
• 12:25
  feeling
• 12:25
  excluded.
• 12:26
  And
• 12:26
  so
• 12:26
  I
• 12:27
  think
• 12:27
  it
• 12:27
  goes
• 12:27
  to
• 12:28
  more
• 12:28
  than
• 12:29
  just
• 12:29
  individuals
• 12:30
  with
• 12:31
  disabilities.
• 12:32
  I
• 12:32
  think
• 12:33
  that
• 12:33
  it's
• 12:33
  something.
• 12:33
  This
• 12:34
  is
• 12:34
  like
• 12:34
  one
• 12:34
  example
• 12:35
  of
• 12:35
  what
• 12:35
  a
• 12:35
  lot
• 12:36
  of
• 12:36
  people
• 12:36
  have
• 12:37
  in
• 12:37
  common
• 12:38
  that
• 12:38
  you
• 12:38
  don't
• 12:38
  even
• 12:38
  realize
• 12:39
  is
• 12:39
  that
• 12:39
  feeling
• 12:40
  of
• 12:40
  exclusion.
• 12:41
  And
• 12:42
  that's
• 12:42
  the
• 12:42
  beauty
• 12:43
  also,
• 12:43
  when
• 12:43
  you're
• 12:44
  talking
• 12:44
  about
• 12:44
  your
• 12:45
  daughter
• 12:45
  and
• 12:46
  your
• 12:46
  passion
• 12:46
  for
• 12:46
  this,
• 12:47
  when
• 12:48
  we're
• 12:48
  talking
• 12:48
  about
• 12:49
  our
• 12:49
  unified
• 12:49
  champion
• 12:50
  school
• 12:50
  programs,
• 12:51
  it's
• 12:52
  at
• 12:52
  a
• 12:53
  young
• 12:53
  age,
• 12:54
  bringing
• 12:56
  the
• 12:56
  general
• 12:56
  ed
• 12:57
  and
• 12:58
  kids
• 12:59
  alongside
• 13:00
  special
• 13:00
  ed
• 13:02
  students,
• 13:02
  that
• 13:03
  they're
• 13:04
  coming
• 13:04
  together
• 13:05
  for
• 13:05
  a
• 13:05
  unified
• 13:06
  club
• 13:06
  or
• 13:06
  unified
• 13:07
  PE
• 13:07
  or
• 13:08
  unified
• 13:08
  sport,
• 13:09
  and
• 13:09
  they're
• 13:09
  realizing,
• 13:10
  like,
• 13:10
  hey,
• 13:10
  we
• 13:10
  have
• 13:11
  a
• 13:11
  lot
• 13:11
  more
• 13:11
  in
• 13:11
  common
• 13:13
  and.
• 13:13
  And
• 13:13
  we're.
• 13:14
  And
• 13:14
  they're
• 13:14
  celebrating
• 13:15
  Differences
• 13:16
  rather
• 13:16
  than
• 13:17
  making
• 13:17
  it
• 13:17
  seem
• 13:18
  like
• 13:18
  there's
• 13:18
  something
• 13:18
  wrong
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  be
• 13:20
  different,
• 13:20
  because
• 13:20
  everybody
• 13:21
  has
• 13:21
  something
• 13:22
  to
• 13:22
  celebrate
• 13:23
  about
• 13:24
  them
• 13:24
  and
• 13:24
  how
• 13:25
  they
• 13:25
  show
• 13:25
  up.
• 13:25
  And
• 13:26
  you
• 13:26
  have
• 13:28
  general
• 13:28
  ed
• 13:28
  students
• 13:29
  that
• 13:29
  are
• 13:29
  a
• 13:29
  part
• 13:29
  of
• 13:30
  the
• 13:30
  Unified
• 13:30
  program
• 13:31
  saying
• 13:31
  the
• 13:32
  Unified
• 13:32
  Club
• 13:32
  is
• 13:33
  their
• 13:33
  favorite
• 13:34
  place
• 13:34
  to
• 13:34
  be
• 13:35
  on
• 13:35
  campus
• 13:35
  because
• 13:35
  it's
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  one
• 13:36
  place
• 13:36
  where
• 13:36
  they
• 13:36
  could
• 13:37
  actually
• 13:37
  be
• 13:38
  themselves
• 13:38
  and
• 13:38
  not
• 13:39
  feel
• 13:39
  judged
• 13:39
  and
• 13:40
  just
• 13:40
  feel
• 13:40
  seen.
• 13:41
  And
• 13:41
  so
• 13:42
  it
• 13:42
  is
• 13:43
  really
• 13:43
  powerful.
• 13:46
  Athletes
• 13:46
  like
• 13:47
  Brandon
• 13:47
  and
• 13:48
  Dustin
• 13:48
  and
• 13:48
  so
• 13:49
  many
• 13:49
  others
• 13:50
  just
• 13:50
  are
• 13:51
  role
• 13:51
  models
• 13:51
  and
• 13:52
  examples
• 13:52
  for
• 13:52
  how
• 13:53
  we
• 13:53
  can
• 13:53
  all
• 13:53
  be
• 13:54
  more
• 13:54
  inclusive.
• 13:55
  And
• 13:55
  I
• 13:55
  will
• 13:56
  say
• 13:56
  just
• 13:56
  when
• 13:57
  we
• 13:57
  can
• 13:58
  have
• 13:58
  Tammy
• 13:59
  speak
• 13:59
  to
• 14:00
  it
• 14:00
  as
• 14:00
  well,
• 14:00
  because
• 14:00
  in
• 14:01
  addition
• 14:01
  to
• 14:03
  inclusion,
• 14:05
  Special

  the

  largest

  of

• 14:11
  to

  health
• 14:11
  care
• 14:12
  for
• 14:12
  people
• 14:12
  with
• 14:13
  intellectual
• 14:13
  disabilities,
• 14:14
  because
• 14:16
  there's
• 14:17
  a
• 14:17
  lot
• 14:17
  of
• 14:17
  barriers
• 14:18
  to
• 14:19
  that
• 14:19
  experience
• 14:20
  for
• 14:20
  individuals
• 14:20
  with
• 14:21
  intellectual
• 14:21
  disabilities.
• 14:22
  And
• 14:22
  United
• 14:23
  Healthcare
• 14:23
  is
• 14:24
  an
• 14:24
  incredible
• 14:24
  partner
• 14:25
  to
• 14:26
  our
• 14:26
  organization,
• 14:27
  to
• 14:27
  USA
• 14:28
  Games
• 14:28
  as
• 14:29
  a
• 14:29
  part
• 14:29
  of
• 14:30
  the
• 14:30
  volunteer
• 14:31
  experience
• 14:31
  that
• 14:32
  we
• 14:32
  still
• 14:32
  rely
• 14:33
  on.
• 14:33
  And
• 14:33
  so
• 14:33
  I
• 14:34
  know
• 14:34
  Tammy
• 14:34
  can
• 14:35
  speak
• 14:35
  to
• 14:35
  a
• 14:35
  lot
• 14:35
  of
• 14:35
  the
• 14:36
  special
• 14:36
  health
• 14:36
  features
• 14:37
  that
• 14:38
  they're
• 14:38
  helping
• 14:38
  make
• 14:39
  possible
• 14:40
  at
• 14:40
  USA
• 14:40
  Games
• 14:41
  as
• 14:41
  well.
• 14:41
  And
• 14:41
  that's
• 14:41
  a
• 14:42
  critical
• 14:42
  aspect
• 14:43
  of
• 14:43
  the
• 14:43
  work
• 14:44
  that
• 14:44
  we
• 14:44
  do.
• 14:45
  Sure.
• 14:46
  Happy
• 14:46
  to
• 14:46
  jump
• 14:46
  in.
• 14:47
  So,
• 14:47
  as
• 14:47
  Kelly
• 14:48
  indicated,
• 14:48
  our
• 14:49
  support
• 14:49
  goes
• 14:49
  well
• 14:49
  beyond
• 14:50
  the
• 14:50
  visibility.
• 14:51
  Right.
• 14:51
  Visibility
• 14:52
  is
• 14:52
  great,
• 14:52
  working
• 14:53
  together
• 14:53
  in
• 14:53
  the
• 14:53
  partnership.
• 14:54
  But
• 14:54
  really
• 14:55
  where
• 14:56
  we
• 14:56
  step
• 14:56
  in
• 14:56
  at
• 14:56
  UnitedHealthcare
• 14:57
  is
• 14:57
  to
• 14:58
  enhance
• 14:58
  the
• 14:58
  athlete
• 14:59
  experience
• 14:59
  when
• 14:59
  it
• 15:00
  comes
• 15:00
  to
• 15:00
  health
• 15:01
  access
• 15:01
  and
• 15:01
  inclusion.
• 15:03
  And
• 15:03
  so
• 15:03
  what
• 15:03
  does
• 15:03
  that
• 15:04
  really
• 15:04
  mean?
• 15:04
  So,
• 15:04
  as
• 15:04
  Kelly
• 15:05
  indicated,
• 15:05
  we're
• 15:06
  providing
• 15:06
  health
• 15:07
  navigators.
• 15:08
  So
• 15:08
  through
• 15:08
  the
• 15:08
  entire
• 15:09
  training
• 15:09
  experience
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  the
• 15:10
  point
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  they
• 15:11
  compete,
• 15:12
  we
• 15:12
  have
• 15:12
  health
• 15:12
  navigators
• 15:13
  for
• 15:13
  them
• 15:13
  and
• 15:13
  their
• 15:14
  families
• 15:14
  to
• 15:14
  help
• 15:14
  support
• 15:15
  them,
• 15:15
  whatever
• 15:15
  they
• 15:16
  may
• 15:16
  need.
• 15:16
  There
• 15:17
  are
• 15:17
  things
• 15:17
  that
• 15:17
  can
• 15:18
  occur
• 15:18
  during
• 15:18
  the
• 15:18
  time
• 15:19
  of
• 15:19
  training
• 15:20
  that
• 15:20
  they
• 15:20
  might
• 15:20
  need
• 15:20
  some
• 15:21
  additional
• 15:21
  health
• 15:21
  care
• 15:21
  support.
• 15:22
  So
• 15:22
  we
• 15:22
  will
• 15:22
  have
• 15:23
  that
• 15:23
  health
• 15:23
  navigator
• 15:24
  support.
• 15:25
  The
• 15:25
  other
• 15:25
  thing
• 15:25
  that
• 15:26
  I
• 15:26
  think
• 15:26
  is
• 15:26
  key
• 15:26
  when
• 15:26
  we
• 15:26
  talk
• 15:27
  about
• 15:27
  inclusion
• 15:28
  is
• 15:28
  really
• 15:28
  understanding
• 15:29
  the
• 15:29
  audience,
• 15:30
  and
• 15:31
  that
• 15:31
  is
• 15:31
  supporting
• 15:32
  sensory
• 15:33
  friendly
• 15:34
  space.
• 15:35
  I'll
• 15:35
  say
• 15:36
  that
• 15:36
  again.
• 15:36
  Sensory
• 15:37
  friendly
• 15:37
  space.
• 15:37
  What
• 15:37
  does
• 15:38
  that
• 15:38
  mean?
• 15:39
  That
• 15:39
  means
• 15:39
  space
• 15:39
  that
• 15:40
  allows
• 15:41
  athletes
• 15:41
  like
• 15:41
  Brandon
• 15:42
  and
• 15:42
  others,
• 15:42
  when
• 15:43
  they
• 15:43
  want
• 15:43
  to
• 15:43
  just
• 15:44
  pull
• 15:44
  back
• 15:44
  a
• 15:44
  little
• 15:44
  bit,
• 15:45
  might
• 15:45
  be
• 15:45
  a
• 15:45
  little
• 15:45
  overstimulated,
• 15:46
  which
• 15:46
  we
• 15:47
  can
• 15:47
  all
• 15:47
  appreciate
• 15:48
  that.
• 15:48
  Right.
• 15:49
  And
• 15:49
  need
• 15:49
  to
• 15:49
  take
• 15:49
  a
• 15:49
  moment
• 15:50
  for
• 15:50
  pause
• 15:50
  and
• 15:51
  have
• 15:51
  a
• 15:51
  calm
• 15:51
  surrounding.
• 15:53
  So
• 15:53
  part
• 15:53
  of
• 15:54
  what
• 15:54
  we're
• 15:54
  working
• 15:54
  towards
• 15:55
  at
• 15:55
  UnitedHealthcare
• 15:56
  is
• 15:56
  developing
• 15:57
  those
• 15:57
  spaces
• 15:57
  at
• 15:58
  the
• 15:58
  training
• 15:58
  camps
• 15:59
  and
• 15:59
  at
• 15:59
  the
• 15:59
  Games,
• 16:00
  so
• 16:00
  the
• 16:00
  athletes
• 16:01
  have
• 16:01
  that
• 16:02
  space,
• 16:02
  again,
• 16:02
  not
• 16:02
  only
• 16:03
  for
• 16:03
  healthcare,
• 16:03
  but
• 16:04
  also
• 16:04
  for
• 16:05
  extended
• 16:05
  support.
• 16:05
  So
• 16:06
  together,
• 16:06
  those
• 16:06
  upgrades
• 16:07
  are
• 16:07
  very
• 16:07
  thoughtful,
• 16:08
  really
• 16:08
  centering
• 16:09
  around
• 16:09
  the
• 16:09
  special
• 16:10
  needs
• 16:10
  of
• 16:10
  our
• 16:10
  athletes
• 16:11
  to
• 16:11
  make
• 16:11
  them
• 16:12
  very
• 16:12
  much
• 16:12
  feel
• 16:12
  included.
• 16:14
  I
• 16:14
  love
• 16:15
  that
• 16:15
  because
• 16:16
  sensory
• 16:16
  issues
• 16:17
  are
• 16:17
  so
• 16:17
  much
• 16:17
  a
• 16:18
  Part
• 16:18
  of
• 16:19
  a
• 16:19
  lot
• 16:19
  of
• 16:20
  disabilities,
• 16:21
  whether
• 16:21
  people
• 16:22
  are
• 16:22
  on
• 16:22
  the
• 16:22
  spectrum
• 16:23
  or
• 16:24
  intellectual
• 16:24
  disabilities
• 16:25
  or
• 16:25
  physical
• 16:26
  disabilities,
• 16:26
  that
• 16:27
  private
• 16:27
  time
• 16:28
  and
• 16:28
  that
• 16:28
  quiet
• 16:28
  space
• 16:29
  can
• 16:30
  change
• 16:31
  their
• 16:31
  entire
• 16:31
  day
• 16:32
  and
• 16:32
  reset,
• 16:33
  offer
• 16:33
  a
• 16:34
  chance
• 16:34
  to
• 16:34
  reset
• 16:35
  and
• 16:35
  kind
• 16:36
  of
• 16:36
  recalibrate
• 16:37
  and
• 16:37
  rein
• 16:38
  everything
• 16:38
  in
• 16:39
  from
• 16:39
  being
• 16:39
  overstimulated.
• 16:40
  So
• 16:40
  that's,
• 16:41
  that's
• 16:41
  wonderful.
• 16:41
  I
• 16:42
  certainly
• 16:42
  understand
• 16:43
  that
• 16:43
  with
• 16:44
  a
• 16:44
  daughter
• 16:44
  on
• 16:44
  the
• 16:44
  spectrum
• 16:46
  and
• 16:46
  how's.
• 16:46
  Right.
• 16:48
  He
• 16:48
  asked
• 16:48
  about
• 16:48
  inclusion
• 16:49
  and
• 16:49
  I
• 16:49
  went
• 16:49
  off
• 16:49
  on
• 16:50
  this
• 16:50
  tangent
• 16:50
  about
• 16:50
  how
• 16:50
  awesome
• 16:51
  my
• 16:51
  daughter
• 16:51
  is.
• 16:51
  I
• 16:52
  switched
• 16:52
  into
• 16:52
  mom
• 16:52
  mode.
• 16:53
  But,
• 16:53
  but,
• 16:54
  but
• 16:54
  I'd
• 16:55
  like
• 16:55
  to
• 16:55
  add.
• 16:56
  Yeah,
• 16:57
  yeah,
• 16:57
  for
• 16:57
  whatever
• 16:57
  it's
• 16:58
  worth,
• 16:58
  her
• 16:58
  daughter
• 16:58
  is
• 16:59
  awesome.
• 16:59
  So
• 16:59
  I
• 16:59
  just.
• 17:00
  Yeah,
• 17:00
  she
• 17:01
  is.
• 17:01
  But
• 17:03
  it.
• 17:03
  Inclusion,
• 17:05
  I'd
• 17:05
  like
• 17:05
  to
• 17:06
  add
• 17:06
  and
• 17:07
  suggest
• 17:07
  that
• 17:07
  it
• 17:08
  plays
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  big
• 17:08
  part
• 17:08
  in
• 17:09
  mental
• 17:09
  health
• 17:10
  too.
• 17:10
  Because
• 17:11
  anyone,
• 17:12
  no
• 17:12
  matter
• 17:13
  where
• 17:13
  you
• 17:13
  are
• 17:14
  in
• 17:14
  life
• 17:14
  or
• 17:14
  what
• 17:14
  challenges
• 17:15
  you
• 17:15
  have,
• 17:16
  if
• 17:16
  you
• 17:16
  feel
• 17:16
  like
• 17:17
  you're
• 17:17
  not
• 17:17
  included
• 17:18
  and
• 17:18
  you're
• 17:19
  actively
• 17:19
  excluded
• 17:20
  and
• 17:21
  that's
• 17:21
  your
• 17:21
  day
• 17:21
  to
• 17:22
  day
• 17:22
  life
• 17:22
  and
• 17:23
  you're
• 17:23
  bullied
• 17:23
  and
• 17:24
  you're
• 17:24
  constantly
• 17:25
  told
• 17:25
  maybe
• 17:26
  you're
• 17:26
  not
• 17:26
  enough
• 17:26
  or
• 17:27
  why
• 17:27
  can't
• 17:27
  you
• 17:27
  do
• 17:28
  this?
• 17:28
  And
• 17:29
  that
• 17:30
  severely
• 17:30
  impacts
• 17:31
  mental
• 17:31
  health.
• 17:32
  I
• 17:32
  don't
• 17:32
  see
• 17:32
  how
• 17:32
  anyone
• 17:33
  could
• 17:33
  be
• 17:35
  impervious
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  that.
• 17:37
  So
• 17:38
  the
• 17:38
  more
• 17:38
  that
• 17:39
  we
• 17:39
  practice
• 17:39
  inclusion
• 17:40
  with
• 17:40
  everybody,
• 17:41
  I
• 17:42
  think
• 17:43
  we
• 17:43
  have
• 17:44
  better
• 17:45
  mental
• 17:45
  health
• 17:46
  outcomes
• 17:46
  and
• 17:47
  more
• 17:47
  understanding
• 17:49
  and
• 17:50
  it
• 17:50
  just
• 17:50
  makes
• 17:50
  life
• 17:51
  better
• 17:51
  for
• 17:51
  people
• 17:52
  when
• 17:52
  you
• 17:52
  do
• 17:53
  that.
• 17:53
  So
• 17:55
  anyone
• 17:55
  listening
• 17:56
  to
• 17:56
  this
• 17:56
  podcast,
• 17:58
  hopefully
• 17:59
  they
• 17:59
  come
• 17:59
  away
• 17:59
  with
• 18:00
  some
• 18:00
  of
• 18:01
  the
• 18:01
  things
• 18:01
  from
• 18:01
  this
• 18:02
  podcast
• 18:02
  and
• 18:02
  hopefully
• 18:03
  one
• 18:03
  of
• 18:03
  them
• 18:03
  is
• 18:04
  the
• 18:04
  importance
• 18:04
  of
• 18:05
  inclusion
• 18:05
  on
• 18:06
  mental
• 18:06
  health
• 18:07
  and
• 18:07
  making
• 18:08
  people
• 18:08
  feel
• 18:08
  like
• 18:09
  they
• 18:09
  belong
• 18:10
  because
• 18:11
  everybody
• 18:11
  wants
• 18:11
  to
• 18:11
  feel
• 18:12
  like
• 18:12
  they
• 18:12
  be
• 18:12
  belong.
• 18:13
  And
• 18:15
  if
• 18:15
  we
• 18:15
  focus
• 18:16
  on
• 18:16
  that,
• 18:16
  I
• 18:16
  think,
• 18:17
  you
• 18:17
  know,
• 18:17
  I
• 18:17
  hate
• 18:18
  to
• 18:18
  sound
• 18:18
  very
• 18:18
  kumbaya
• 18:19
  about
• 18:19
  it.
• 18:20
  Excuse
• 18:20
  me,
• 18:21
  but
• 18:22
  you
• 18:22
  know,
• 18:23
  life
• 18:23
  would
• 18:23
  be
• 18:23
  a
• 18:23
  little
• 18:23
  bit
• 18:24
  better
• 18:24
  for
• 18:24
  all
• 18:24
  of
• 18:24
  us
• 18:24
  if
• 18:25
  we
• 18:25
  just
• 18:25
  kind
• 18:25
  of
• 18:25
  kept
• 18:26
  that
• 18:26
  in
• 18:26
  mind.
• 18:27
  Well,
• 18:27
  I
• 18:27
  mean,
• 18:28
  and
• 18:28
  just
• 18:28
  piggybacking
• 18:29
  off
• 18:29
  of
• 18:29
  that,
• 18:30
  you
• 18:30
  know,
• 18:31
  back
• 18:31
  when
• 18:31
  you
• 18:32
  started
• 18:32
  with
• 18:32
  Special
• 18:33
  Olympics
• 18:33
  or
• 18:34
  your
• 18:34
  organization
• 18:35
  started,
• 18:36
  because
• 18:36
  I
• 18:36
  know
• 18:36
  that
• 18:38
  you're
• 18:38
  much
• 18:38
  younger
• 18:39
  than
• 18:39
  the
• 18:39
  age
• 18:39
  of
• 18:39
  your
• 18:40
  Special
• 18:40
  Olympics,
• 18:41
  but
• 18:42
  I
• 18:42
  think
• 18:43
  that,
• 18:43
  you
• 18:43
  know,
• 18:43
  it's
• 18:44
  good
• 18:44
  I
• 18:45
  got
• 18:45
  a
• 18:45
  smile
• 18:45
  out
• 18:45
  of
• 18:45
  you.
• 18:46
  I
• 18:46
  think
• 18:46
  it's
• 18:47
  important
• 18:47
  to
• 18:47
  note
• 18:48
  that
• 18:48
  back
• 18:49
  then
• 18:49
  we
• 18:50
  didn't
• 18:50
  have
• 18:50
  social
• 18:50
  media.
• 18:51
  We
• 18:51
  didn't
• 18:52
  have
• 18:52
  the
• 18:52
  sort
• 18:52
  of
• 18:52
  things
• 18:53
  that
• 18:53
  make
• 18:54
  people
• 18:54
  feel
• 18:56
  tense
• 18:56
  and
• 18:57
  awkward
• 18:57
  and,
• 18:58
  and,
• 18:58
  and
• 18:59
  the
• 18:59
  kind
• 18:59
  of
• 18:59
  bullying
• 19:00
  that
• 19:00
  goes
• 19:00
  on
• 19:00
  on
• 19:01
  social
• 19:01
  media
• 19:01
  that
• 19:02
  can
• 19:02
  affect
• 19:03
  young
• 19:04
  people,
• 19:04
  especially
• 19:04
  those
• 19:05
  who
• 19:05
  have
• 19:05
  special
• 19:05
  needs.
• 19:06
  And
• 19:06
  I,
• 19:06
  you
• 19:07
  know,
• 19:07
  I
• 19:07
  sort
• 19:07
  of
• 19:08
  wonder
• 19:08
  in
• 19:08
  today's
• 19:09
  world,
• 19:10
  which
• 19:11
  is,
• 19:11
  you
• 19:11
  know,
• 19:12
  quite,
• 19:12
  quite
• 19:13
  substantially
• 19:13
  different,
• 19:15
  is
• 19:15
  it
• 19:15
  also
• 19:15
  quite
• 19:16
  substantially
• 19:16
  different
• 19:17
  to
• 19:17
  try
• 19:17
  to
• 19:17
  help
• 19:18
  keep
• 19:18
  everybody
• 19:19
  uplifted?
• 19:22
  Well,
• 19:22
  I
• 19:23
  think
• 19:23
  we're
• 19:24
  very
• 19:25
  lucky
• 19:25
  as
• 19:26
  an
• 19:26
  organization
• 19:28
  that
• 19:29
  our
• 19:30
  mission
• 19:30
  is
• 19:30
  about
• 19:31
  lifting
• 19:32
  people
• 19:32
  up
• 19:32
  and
• 19:33
  helping
• 19:33
  people
• 19:34
  be
• 19:34
  the
• 19:34
  best
• 19:34
  that
• 19:34
  they
• 19:35
  can
• 19:35
  be.
• 19:35
  And
• 19:35
  so
• 19:36
  what
• 19:36
  I
• 19:36
  would
• 19:36
  say
• 19:37
  is
• 19:37
  for
• 19:38
  anyone
• 19:39
  that
• 19:39
  is
• 19:39
  looking
• 19:40
  for
• 19:40
  that
• 19:41
  sense
• 19:41
  of
• 19:41
  belonging
• 19:42
  or
• 19:42
  a
• 19:42
  place
• 19:43
  to
• 19:43
  be
• 19:43
  or
• 19:44
  be
• 19:44
  surrounded
• 19:45
  by
• 19:45
  others
• 19:45
  that
• 19:46
  want
• 19:46
  to
• 19:46
  push
• 19:47
  you
• 19:47
  to
• 19:47
  be
• 19:47
  your
• 19:48
  best,
• 19:48
  that
• 19:49
  there's
• 19:49
  a
• 19:49
  place
• 19:49
  for
• 19:49
  you
• 19:50
  at
• 19:50
  Special
• 19:50
  Olympics.
• 19:51
  We
• 19:51
  talked
• 19:52
  a
• 19:52
  little
• 19:52
  bit
• 19:52
  earlier
• 19:54
  about
• 19:54
  how
• 19:55
  critical
• 19:55
  volunteers
• 19:56
  are
• 19:57
  in
• 19:58
  Southern
• 19:58
  California.
• 20:01
  We
• 20:02
  are
• 20:03
  actually
• 20:03
  not
• 20:04
  even
• 20:04
  just
• 20:04
  in
• 20:04
  Southern
• 20:05
  California.
• 20:06
  Across
• 20:06
  Special
• 20:06
  Olympics,
• 20:07
  we
• 20:08
  rely
• 20:08
  on
• 20:09
  volunteer
• 20:09
  coaches
• 20:10
  and
• 20:10
  volunteers
• 20:11
  and
• 20:12
  so
• 20:12
  many
• 20:12
  of
• 20:12
  our
• 20:12
  functions
• 20:13
  to
• 20:14
  run
• 20:14
  our
• 20:14
  programs.
• 20:15
  But
• 20:15
  our
• 20:15
  coaches
• 20:16
  are
• 20:16
  volunteers
• 20:16
  and
• 20:17
  they're
• 20:17
  the
• 20:17
  ones
• 20:17
  spending
• 20:18
  time
• 20:18
  directly
• 20:19
  with
• 20:19
  the
• 20:19
  athletes,
• 20:20
  providing
• 20:21
  that
• 20:21
  support
• 20:22
  at
• 20:22
  practice
• 20:23
  each
• 20:23
  week,
• 20:24
  being
• 20:24
  alongside
• 20:25
  them
• 20:25
  and
• 20:25
  encouraging
• 20:26
  them
• 20:26
  and
• 20:26
  coaching
• 20:27
  them
• 20:27
  at
• 20:28
  competitions.
• 20:29
  And
• 20:30
  then
• 20:30
  in
• 20:30
  addition
• 20:30
  to
• 20:31
  the
• 20:31
  coaches,
• 20:32
  they
• 20:32
  have
• 20:32
  volunteers
• 20:33
  that
• 20:33
  help
• 20:33
  put
• 20:33
  on
• 20:34
  the
• 20:34
  competitions
• 20:35
  or
• 20:35
  even
• 20:36
  come
• 20:36
  out
• 20:37
  and
• 20:37
  be
• 20:37
  a
• 20:37
  stand
• 20:37
  in
• 20:38
  the
• 20:38
  stand
• 20:38
  so
• 20:38
  that
• 20:39
  you
• 20:39
  can
• 20:40
  help
• 20:40
  those
• 20:40
  athletes
• 20:41
  feel
• 20:42
  encouraged
• 20:42
  as
• 20:42
  they're
• 20:43
  working
• 20:43
  to
• 20:43
  cross
• 20:43
  the
• 20:43
  finish
• 20:44
  line
• 20:44
  or
• 20:44
  push
• 20:45
  themselves
• 20:46
  to
• 20:46
  be
• 20:47
  the
• 20:47
  best
• 20:47
  that
• 20:47
  they
• 20:48
  can
• 20:48
  be.
• 20:48
  And
• 20:49
  so
• 20:50
  there
• 20:50
  is
• 20:51
  a
• 20:51
  spot
• 20:52
  for
• 20:53
  anyone
• 20:54
  that
• 20:54
  wants
• 20:54
  to
• 20:54
  be
• 20:54
  a
• 20:55
  part
• 20:55
  of
• 20:56
  this
• 20:56
  incredible
• 20:57
  mission
• 20:58
  and
• 20:59
  the
• 20:59
  inspiration
• 20:59
  and
• 21:00
  courage
• 21:01
  of
• 21:01
  our
• 21:01
  athletes.
• 21:02
  Our
• 21:02
  number
• 21:03
  one
• 21:03
  need
• 21:03
  here
• 21:04
  in
• 21:04
  Southern
• 21:04
  California
• 21:05
  is
• 21:05
  to

  recruit

  more
• 21:07
  coaches
• 21:07
  and
• 21:07
  team
• 21:07
  volunteers
• 21:08
  so
• 21:09
  you
• 21:09
  don't
• 21:09
  have
• 21:09
  to
• 21:10
  have
• 21:11
  experience
• 21:11
  in
• 21:12
  a

  particular
• 21:12
  sport.
• 21:13
  We
• 21:13
  provide

  But

  three
• 23:07
  things
• 23:08
  we
• 23:08
  need
• 23:08
  to
• 23:08
  focus
• 23:08
  on.
• 23:11
  We
• 23:11
  are
• 23:12
  in
• 23:12
  the
• 23:12
  field,
• 23:12
  we
• 23:13
  are
• 23:13
  out
• 23:13
  of

  field.
• 23:14
  We

  are
• 23:14
  one
• 23:15
  team.
• 23:17
  And
• 23:17
  I'll
• 23:17
  tell
• 23:18
  you
• 23:19
  personal
• 23:19
  experience.
• 23:20
  So
• 23:21
  we've
• 23:21
  had
• 23:21
  volunteers
• 23:22
  across
• 23:22
  UnitedHealthcare
• 23:23
  helping
• 23:24
  across
• 23:24
  the
• 23:24
  country,
• 23:25
  right
• 23:25
  from
• 23:26
  Southern
• 23:26
  California,
• 23:26
  Tennessee,
• 23:27
  New
• 23:27
  York,
• 23:28
  supporting
• 23:28
  the
• 23:28
  training
• 23:29
  camps,
• 23:30
  personally
• 23:30
  getting
• 23:31
  involved.
• 23:31
  I'll
• 23:31
  tell
• 23:31
  you,
• 23:32
  athletes
• 23:32
  like
• 23:32
  Brandon,
• 23:33
  it's
• 23:33
  so
• 23:33
  easy
• 23:34
  to
• 23:34
  help
• 23:34
  because
• 23:34
  they
• 23:35
  tell
• 23:35
  you
• 23:35
  what
• 23:35
  to
• 23:35
  do.
• 23:36
  They
• 23:36
  tell
• 23:36
  you
• 23:36
  exactly
• 23:37
  the
• 23:37
  support
• 23:38
  that
• 23:38
  they
• 23:38
  need
• 23:39
  while
• 23:39
  you're
• 23:39
  on
• 23:39
  the
• 23:40
  field.
• 23:40
  So
• 23:40
  I
• 23:40
  got
• 23:40
  the
• 23:41
  opportunity
• 23:41
  to
• 23:41
  help
• 23:41
  track
• 23:42
  and
• 23:42
  field.
• 23:42
  And.
• 23:43
  And
• 23:43
  I'll
• 23:43
  tell
• 23:43
  you,
• 23:43
  those
• 23:44
  young
• 23:44
  athletes
• 23:44
  told
• 23:44
  me
• 23:44
  exactly
• 23:45
  where
• 23:45
  to
• 23:45
  stand,
• 23:45
  how
• 23:45
  to
• 23:46
  time
• 23:46
  and
• 23:46
  what
• 23:46
  I
• 23:46
  needed
• 23:47
  to
• 23:47
  do.
• 23:47
  So
• 23:47
  I
• 23:47
  so
• 23:47
  appreciated
• 23:48
  that.
• 23:48
  They
• 23:48
  just
• 23:48
  needed
• 23:49
  the
• 23:49
  extra
• 23:49
  support
• 23:49
  and
• 23:50
  hands.
• 23:50
  And
• 23:50
  then
• 23:51
  they
• 23:51
  wanted
• 23:51
  us
• 23:51
  to
• 23:51
  get
• 23:51
  louder
• 23:52
  at
• 23:52
  the
• 23:52
  finish
• 23:52
  line.
• 23:53
  So

  using
• 23:54
  these
• 23:54
  lungs
• 23:54
  of
• 23:54
  mine
