100 Days to Milan: Behind-the-Scenes with Back The Team
The countdown is officially on. Just 100 days remain until the 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milan. For athletes around the world, these final months aren’t just about training harder. This mark signals the transition from building to peaking. Training gets precise. Recovery is sacred. The mental game (nerves, confidence, belief) takes center stage. These are lessons that go far beyond sports, and they’re exactly the lessons our mentors are eager to share with the next generation.
At Back The Team, we believe this window leading up to the Games is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for young athletes to learn directly from the role models they’ll soon be watching on TV. That’s why this November, we’re opening the doors to something that’s never been done before: personal mentorship from Olympians in the home stretch of their Olympic journey.
This November, three world-class Olympians are stepping into the Back The Team community to mentor small groups of young athletes:
Jaelin Kauf: Olympic Silver Medalist, World Champion, and currently the #1 mogul skier in the world, fresh off one of the most dominant seasons in U.S. Ski Team history.
Alina Müller: 3x Olympian, NCAA all-time leading scorer, and current PWHL star. She’s preparing for her fourth Olympic Games.
Zack DiGregorio: Olympian luger and U.S. National Champion whose journey began at a Slider Search, just like so many of the kids he’ll now mentor.
For one month, athletes who join a Back The Team cohort will gain:
Weekly live Zoom mentorships with their Olympian, a chance to ask questions and hear real stories about training and competition.
Daily mindset challenges designed to build resilience, focus, and confidence.
Behind-the-scenes access to the Olympic year: the travel, the setbacks, and the breakthroughs.
A private community of motivated youth athletes
There’s nowhere else you can get personal access to Olympians you’ll soon be cheering for in Milan. Not on TV, not on Instagram. Only at Back The Team. With just 100 days left until the Games, the excitement is real and so is the opportunity. Don’t miss the chance to train your mindset alongside Olympians who know exactly what it takes to rise when it matters most.
