Mentorship IN MOTION

We’ll start the month with introductions. Athletes will meet their Olympic mentor, hear their story, and set the tone for the weeks ahead. This is all about building connection, opening the floor for questions, and creating momentum for the month.

The journey to the top requires more than physical training. It takes mindset mental toughness. This week dives into the real tools your Olympic mentor uses to stay confident under pressure and handle nerves when the spotlight is on and it matters most. Athletes will leave with practical strategies to strengthen their own mental game.

Every athlete faces adversity — from injuries to missed opportunities to falling short of a personal goal. This week, your mentor will share their personal stories of setbacks and comebacks, and how they turned disappointment into fuel for future success. This week is all about persistence, resilience, and reframing challenges as growth. Through mentorship, athletes learn how to:

• Reframe mistakes as stepping stones.

• Steady themselves under pressure.

• Carry confidence forward, even after setbacks.

What does it really take to pursue sport at the highest level? This week, your mentor will pull back the curtain on life as an elite athlete — from balancing training with school and personal life, to the pressures and pride of competing for your country. Athletes will leave with a toolkit of proven routines, a realistic view of the trade-offs that come with chasing excellence, and practical methods for managing their time like a pro.

Back The Team closes out the month by celebrating wins, reflecting on key takeaways, and looking ahead. Athletes will set new goals with renewed confidence and motivation, supported by advice and personal encouragement from their Olympic mentor.
