Special Olympics USA Games: Local bocce coach on what athletes gain beyond competition

Minnesota is hosting thousands of athletes, coaches and fans this week as the Special Olympics USA Games get underway in the Twin Cities. The games bring together athletes from across the country to compete in more than a dozen sports, from swimming and gymnastics to bocce ball. Bocce ball may not be as widely known as some other sports, but for many athletes, it's a chance to compete, build confidence and create lasting friendships. Kymm Salwasser is a Special Olympics bocce ball coach. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about the games.
