The ‘Gin and Juice’ rapper shared the news himself, confirming that his role will kick off at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Dubbed “Coach Snoop”, the entertainer will serve as chief hype man and sideline supporter for Team USA’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes when the Games head to Cortina, Italy, in February of next year.

The ‘Baby Boy’ actor spoke openly about his excitement surrounding the new role, saying:

“I’m proud to share that I’m joining the Team Behind the Team at the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee supporting Team USA in all the moments on and off the field of play.

From the moment I rolled into Paris, I was instantly welcomed into the USOPC family. I felt the energy, the pride, and the love of sport that makes this team special. The way the staff lifts up the athletes… the way the athletes inspire the world… it had me hooked from day one.

So I’m jumping in as Team USA’s first Honorary Coach, a role that’s all about celebrating and supporting athletes beyond what fans see on the field of play. I’m here to bring my voice, my heart, and maybe a little wisdom from the sidelines… to help motivate Team USA, shine a light on the full athlete journey, and uplift the people who make their dreams possible.

For me, greatness isn’t just about performance, it’s about mindset, mentorship, community, and having the right support system. That’s what the Team Behind the Team is all about.

My first project? Helping shine a light on the Team USA Fund, powered by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation, the crew that provides real resources for athlete training, education, mental health, career transition, and everything athletes need to thrive on and off the field of play.

This is just the beginning.

Let’s fire up Team USA together”
