In light of the ongoing water crisis in Richmond, VCU men's basketball coach Ryan Odom has shared insights on the psychological challenges faced by his team. With the Siegel Center largely empty due to safety concerns, the atmosphere has shifted significantly for the Rams. Odom emphasized the importance of mental resilience and adaptability in such unprecedented circumstances.
The absence of a lively crowd has altered the usual dynamics of home games, presenting a unique set of challenges for the players. Odom noted that while the team thrives on the energy of their supporters, they must now find motivation from within. He has encouraged his players to focus on their performance and maintain a strong sense of unity, despite the external pressures.
The coach is working diligently to ensure that the team remains focused and prepared, using this situation as an opportunity for growth. As the Rams navigate through this difficult time, Odom's leadership will be crucial in fostering a positive mindset and maintaining team cohesion.
