Snoop Dogg Takes on 'Honorary Coach' Role at Upcoming Winter Olympics
In a surprise move, 54-year-old rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an "honorary coach" for Team USA at the upcoming Winter Olympics. According to the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), Snoop will be taking on a volunteer role that involves celebrating and supporting American athletes off the field of play.
Snoop's involvement in the Olympics dates back to last summer's Games in Paris, where he served as a special correspondent for NBC's Olympics coverage and performed at the handover ceremony for Los Angeles 2028. This time around, Snoop will be lending his signature humor and heart to motivate and inspire US athletes.
"I'm just here to cheer, uplift and maybe drop a little wisdom from the sidelines," said 'Coach Snoop'. For him, being an honorary coach is all about bringing love and motivation to the team, which he believes represents the best of what sport can be: talent, heart, and hustle.
As a sports enthusiast, Snoop has been involved in various initiatives, including founding the Snoop Youth Football League in 2005. This organization aims to provide inner-city children with opportunities to play American football in stadiums around the US.
The Winter Olympics are set to take place in Milan and Cortina, Italy, from February 6-22. Snoop's role as an honorary coach is seen as a unique addition to the Olympic experience, one that combines entertainment, motivation, and a dash of hip-hop flair.
