your Olympic mentor awaits
Personal connection. Proven mentorship. Olympic impact.
Back The Team
We inspire young athletes through connection with Olympians and Paralympians in month-long mentorship experiences.
-
Born at Harvard, Back The Team blends the science of performance with the heart of mentorship. In partnership with U.S. National Governing Bodies, athletic directors, and coaches nationwide, we’re bringing world-class Olympic mentorship into households, athletic clubs, schools, and communities. The result: a generation of athletes who team up, build grit, and dream big - lessons that last far beyond sport.
-
We partner with Olympians and Paralympians across sports such as freestyle skiing, snowboarding, crew, hockey, and more.
These role models deliver world-class mentorship and mindset training to young athletes, offering unique perspective and connection. By backing the team, you’re also financially backing the Olympians themselves—providing meaningful support as they continue training toward their next international appearance.
-
We’ve brought Olympic mentorship to athletes across the U.S. and Canada—with both students and parents reporting increased motivation and confidence. Coaches note that while their own guidance is valuable, hearing the same lessons from Olympians—who have lived them at the highest level—carries a unique weight.
To do so, we’ve partnered with leading teams and athletic clubs, Winter Park Competition Center, Holderness School, VA House of Speed, New York Ski Education Foundation, and Waterville Valley Academy.

“What surprised me most is that even though I was the mentor, Back The Team actually helped me. This stretch of Olympic prep is always the most grueling and stressful, and connecting with these kids gave me the boost I didn’t even know I needed. I’ve really loved it.”
