DR. DILLON SMALL
Director of Sport Performance Psychology, USAFA
Dr. Dillon Small is a licensed clinical psychologist and the Director of Sport Performance Psychology at the United States Air Force Academy. He has spent over 16 years helping overcome ordinary by studying and teaming up with high performers to elevate their game in athletics, business, academics, and parenting.
His expertise has been applied to special operators, elite athletes, aircrew, and leaders across the Air Force. His research spans mindfulness-based practices, embedded mental health care, and building durable mindsets under pressure.
His approach rejects the pathology model -- the idea that something is wrong with you. Instead, the O/o framework focuses on performance: building on your strengths, forging mental toughness, and creating systems for sustained excellence.
