Snoop Dogg got tapped as Team USA's first-ever Honorary Coach and announced the gig through LinkedIn by saying he wants to hype up athletes beyond what happens during competition. The rapper plans to spotlight the Team USA Fund that bankrolls training, education, mental health support, and career transitions for competitors trying to make it to the Olympics.
This is not his debut with the organization since he already worked as a special correspondent for NBC and carried the torch during the Summer Games. Snoop will be back for NBC's coverage when the Winter Games hit Milano Cortina, bringing his usual mix of jokes and genuine respect for people grinding at the highest level.
The whole mission centers on showing casual fans what athletes actually deal with behind the scenes while raising awareness about the resources they need to succeed after their competitive days end.
