Sports Team Odyssey

What is The Sports Team Odyssey?
The Sports Team Odyssey is a powerful workshop that turns good teams into great teams by providing a combination of expert facilitation and team-based simulations. Simulations may include low ropes course activities; high ropes course elements or other tools for performance improvement.

What are the Benefits of Sports Team Odyssey?
Team members become more supportive of each other by learning about their respective “defaults” when faced with challenges. Through this awareness, individuals begin to take more risks and build a stronger sense of self and team confidence. This confidence results in better performances and a winning attitude regardless of the number of points scored or your place on the podium.

What is the Process Used During a Sports Team Odyssey?
We begin with a discussion on the latest team and individual performance theory. Participants then identify the intangible skills and mind-set that will improve their technical prowess and ability to work together. After the game plan and strategy is identified for individual and team improvement, it's time to practice.

The Odyssey low and/or high ropes course becomes the playing field. The ropes course provides the opportunity to overcome several “impossible” obstacles. This challenges their beliefs of what they are capable of achieving and fosters new confidence. Each event is expertly debriefed with a direct application back to the team, field or court. The program concludes with a final debrief and declaration process whereby team members commit to specific areas of improvement.

What is the duration of a Sports Team Odyssey?
Half and full day formats. Customized processes are available for longer-term process improvement.

Where are Sports Team Odysseys conducted?
The Sports Team Odysseys are conducted at one of our high ropes equipped facilities. See Odyssey High Ropes Course locations for a course near you.
