As head coach of the Tri-City Roadrunners of Alameda County in Northern California, USA, Cathy Lachenmyer teaches athletes that having fun and trying their best are more valuable than winning. She also believes that athletes should respect their opponents as much as their teammates.
Beyond her coaching duties, Lachenmyer recruits coaches and athletes and organizes practices for more than six teams a year, ensuring that Special Olympics continues to thrive in the Tri-City area.
Lachenmyer received the "Jiffy Lube Coach of the Year" award in the Special Olympics category and was honored at a San Francisco Giants pre-game ceremony, where she took part in throwing the “collective” first pitch with other award-winning coaches.
