[Erin Bailey]
We’re gonna be working on your backhands.
Nice, nice! Good! Nice, one more!

[SUPER: Tyler Kennedy, Bank of America]

[Tyler Kennedy]
I got this letter, it said Special Olympics on it. And I opened it, and it says, “Congratulations, you got selected for National Games.” I was in tears the whole time, I called my whole family, I was like, “Oh, jeez.” A dream come true.

[SUPER: Erin Bailey, Bank of America]

[Erin]
Going to the USA Games is very important for me. I’m meeting new tennis players, playing against other tennis players that I never played against before, and try to beat their butts. [Erin laughs]

[Mark Feinour]
Erin, could you come over, I Have something to show you.

[Erin]
Ok! [Erin gasps] Thank you!

[Mark]
I’m very proud. The whole division’s very proud.

[SUPER: Mark Feinour, Bank of America]

[Mark]
Support Services is a major line of business here at Bank of America that provides warehousing, fulfillment, and print production. We just happen to have a different talent pool that we employ here, where all of our employees have a cognitive and/or developmental disability. Bank of America has a long history with Special Olympics. The one benefit that we have of having athletes work here, a lot of what they learn on the court or in the pool, carries over to here in the workplace. The dedication, the pride, the ability to learn, and do better, makes them not only better athletes but also makes them better employees.

[SUPER: Coach Mary Moore]

[Mary Moore]
Erin is so proud of having her job. She loves going every day. She has been given so much opportunity by Bank of America. Special Olympics is so important because it really raises your self esteem. She is just, like a role model to everyone else.

[Erin]
Go right arm over.

[Group]
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

[Erin]
Think positive. You can do this. Don’t put yourself down. A couple times I had to say to myself, I was like, “Ok Erin, just focus, come back to earth, (laughter), and you can do it.” And.. I did it.

[SUPER: Coach Michelle Goldstein]

[Michelle]
To go the distance, you have to be set in knowing that that’s a lot of work. If you’re able to do 40 laps, that is unbelievable. So if he can go 40 laps, he can do anything he sets his mind to, whether he’s in Special Olympics, whether he’s out there in his day to day job, I just feel like he’s zero to a hundred, and he gives a hundred percent no matter what. He’s a team player, he cheers the team on, “Let’s do this again. Here, we can do two more laps.” High fives the teammates, which is great.

[Tyler]
Go for your goal, do what you have to do, and do it. As long as you have a goal, a dream, go for it.

[Erin]
My coworkers are like, very excited for me. They’re like, “You gotta bring home the gold.” I’m like, “Ok, I will try to bring home the gold.” [Erin laughs]

[Tyler]
I think everyone’s proud of me. My family, my coaches, my family here at Bank of America, everybody is just very proud of me, of doing what I’m doing.

[Group cheers]

[Woman]
Good job, good job.

[Tyler laughs]
