• A couple years ago Missouri coach Gary Pinkel lightened up the preseason camp regimen, eliminating two-a-day practices and knocking out a few live-hitting drills. The changes came at the players’ request. They wanted fresh legs for the season and believed grueling double sessions had worn them down the previous years. Under new leadership, camp has changed again. Odom has brought back double sessions — not every day but a few a week — and practices have been more physical with more live hitting, players said Monday.
“I think these guys, the coaches and strength coaches, the nutritionists, they do a really good job logging exactly how long we’re on our feet and exactly how much we’re doing every single day,” linebacker Michael Scherer said. “Me being an older guy and able to look back on it, even though some days we have two practices, we’re on our feet the same amount of time when we only had one practice. I enjoy our schedule now. On days like today we go over stuff in walk-throughs and then do a workout. I get my body going instead of waking up and all stiff and practicing. It helps me out a lot and allowed me stay a lot more healthy if I’d been waking up and going out on the field right at 7 a.m. I think they just do a lot of things to make sure we have effective practices.”
Odom has adopted the slogan “Toughness Wins.” Before and after every practice, players and coaches slap a sign featuring those words on the brick wall on the outside of the team facility. Under Odom, it’s part of the culture he’s tried to embed within the program.
“It’s the toughest camp I’ve been a part of here at Mizzou,” defensive tackle Rickey Hatley said. “Coach Odom really means that toughness stuff.”
“The practices are a little more physical but that just comes with competition,” Scherer added. “Something might happen in practice that flips a switch on either side, where things start to get heated and get physical. That’s good to have that because it means we have that competition going on.”
