The Olympics prove America is stronger when kids from all backgrounds play sports

It was an incredible honor last week to join Team USA and celebrate American excellence at the closing ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Each athlete had a dream of making it to this competition, each worked incredibly hard to achieve that goal, and each inspires our children to believe that they, too, can carry our flag into the stadium one day.

Our Olympic athletes had the opportunity to engage in sport at a young age, which allowed them to develop their talents and learn the grit, drive, teamwork and resilience that enabled them to compete at the highest level and represent Team USA. But to ensure that every American child has that same chance, we must break down barriers to youth sports participation and empower each child to reach his or her full potential through sport and play.
