Ryan Childress made an immediate impact with the soccer team.

Childress, who recently joined Special Olympics of Santa Barbara, was all over the field in his first tournament.

“He was a rock star,” said Jerry Segal,  coach of the soccer team, “scoring, moving around, great playmaker, lots of good passing, things like that.”

What’s impressed Segal even more is Childress’ attitude in practice. “He’s just terrific. He’s terrific with all of his teammates, and we’re just thrilled to name him our athlete of the month.”
