Building Your Culture of Success in Collegiate Athletics

This seminar series is designed for your NCAA athletics department. Learn from Vilis Ozols’ vast experience as a NCAA coach, professional athlete, business leadership consultant, and motivational speaker.

The program focuses on the unique needs of your student athletes, coaches, and athletics administrators. It is tailored to foster leadership skills, enhance performance, and promote personal and professional growth. It emphasizes tools to create shared vision, personal development, and the importance of nurturing a positive culture.

The content is customized in two key ways: First, it addresses the specific needs of your school’s athletic department. Second, it is tailored to your specific constituents: student athletes, coaches and administrators – each with their own customized curriculum.

Help your key leaders to achieve new heights of excellence and to build a lasting legacy of personal development in your athletics department.


For Student Athletes:

Strategies and content for becoming a better teammate, improving relationships with coaches, managing stress and juggling multiple priorities – all by way of a motivational presentation. This will aid student athletes in balancing athletics with academics and will fuel their mental health, instill confidence and rejuvenate their enthusiasm.

For Coaches:
