Unlocking the ODP Mindset
Unlocking the ODP Mindset is a program designed to help athletes tap into the mental side of the game. This part of the game is often overlooked, but not at Missouri ODP! This program will guide athletes to discover and reflect on topics such as confidence, motivation, resilience, goal setting, and much more.
This Fall, we are launching a webinar series on topics that ODP parents and players wanted to hear. We will be joined by guest speakers; you don't want to miss these! Please view the schedule below and register.
This page will be the home of all content for the mental skills series during 2024/2025 ODP cycle. Stay tuned for more information on the series coming next Spring.
