Igniting the Olympian in Youth
The Olympian Mindset Initiative transforms
your potential into performance
The Olympian Mindset Initiative (OMI) is a transformative global initiative designed to inspire and empower young people with the same thinking skills used by Olympians to achieve their personal goals and positively impact their communities and the world. Our pilot campaign, ‘Do Oakland First,’ is designed as a scalable blueprint for worldwide impact through the Olympian global network.
OMI empowers young people with passion, vision, and action
Our mission is to inspire and equip young people globally, empowering them with Olympian Thinking, enabling them to harness their full potential and positively impact their communities and the world. Our vision is a world where, as a rite of passage, preteens discover and ignite the Olympian that lies dormant in each and every one of us.
Our program strategy puts Olympian Thinking™ into action
The Olympian Mindset embodies the core principles and values that have driven Olympians to achieve greatness, Passion, Vision and Action. At OMI, we translate these principles into practical skills and attitudes that empower youth to excel in all aspects of life. Our programs are designed to teach resilience, strategic thinking, and excellence through the lens of Olympian Thinking™.
