Introducing: Kickstart 2026 with Confidence!
When it comes to competition this new year, what if we told you there was a mental trick to get you to perform BETTER than ever? And UNLEASH your full potential?
The answer comes in the form of confidence.
Confidence is the belief in your potential and skillset. It is the little whisper in your mind that says “you got this” in the face of competition.
But how do we cultivate confidence…
When we’re injured?
In a slump?
Or super nervous?
Your mindset matters when facing competition. And that’s where Back The Team comes in!
Just like the rest of us, world-class athletes also struggle with confidence. At the top of the mountain, on the rink, in the halfpipe, or on the track, the margin for error disappears. In those moments, confidence isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s what separates hundredths, podium spots, and achieving big goals.
Over the next few weeks, we will be diving into the stories of 2026 Olympic hopefuls and the mindset they are bringing into qualification. And then later in February at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
We will get to hear from the likes of…
2x Olympic speedskater and Bronze medalist Mia Manganello
3x Olympic bobsledder Neville Wright
Female skimountaineer (skimo) and first-time Olympian Anna Gibson
American bobsledder and Olympic-hopeful Emily Renna, coming off her first World Cup gold!
And so many more incredible Olympians and Paralympians!
It’s time to kickstart the year with confidence! Get excited to learn from world-class athletes who are working to do the same.
