Who Are Coaches?

Our social story helps autistic children understand who coaches are, what they do, and how they help us learn and have fun every day.

Who Are Coaches? When I join a team or an activity, we typically have a knowledgeable adult who leads us.
This person is known as our coach.
A coach’s job is to help me and the team prepare for our games or shows and teach us to work as a team.
Every coach has unique skills that make them good at what they do.
Some coaches lead:
Basketball teams
Dance teams
Soccer teams
Cheer teams
Some coaches can create and teach the plays a team runs in a sports game.
While other coaches can create and teach the routines performed at a show.
They are very supportive of me and my teammates, working hard to improve our skills and coordinate our practices.
I can go to my coach when I:
have questions about an upcoming game or show
need help with something in our play or routine
have issues to work through with teammates
My coach motivates our team to do a great job and, most importantly, reminds us to have fun!

Social stories use simple langauge and clear visuals to walk your autistic child through situations like new routines, transitions, or social interactions. Reading them together ahead of time helps reduce anxiety, builds understanding, and makes unfamiliar moments feel more predictable and manageable.
