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 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 world-class athletes across sports such as freestyle skiing, snowboarding, crew, hockey, and more. 

These role models deliver personal mentorship and mindset training to young athletes, offering unique perspective and connection. By backing the team, you’re also financially backing your mentor themselves—providing meaningful support as they continue training toward their next international appearance.

We’ve brought 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 mentors (who have competed at the highest level) carries a unique weight.

To do so, we’ve partnered with leading teams and athletic clubs, like Winter Park Competition Center, Holderness School, VA House of Speed, New York Ski Education Foundation, and Waterville Valley Academy.
