“I played D1 football and there was nothing like this when I was coming up. You can say things as a coach and parent, but it’s different hearing them from someone else who’s actually been there. It’s really special. Thank you so much for what you’re doing.”

Debra D, Parent

★★★★★

"My daughter came away from Back The Team believing in herself in a way I’ve never seen before. Last season, she went through a really tough time, all the 'mean girl' stuff that breaks your heart as a parent. She was anxious heading into this year. But being part of Back The Team has restored her confidence, excitement, and joy for her sport. It’s given her a community where she feels included, inspired, and ready to take on the season."

Caden S., Athlete

★★★★★

“This month at Back The Team was an incredible learning experience. I’ll look back fondly on the opportunity to learn from an Olympian at the top of my sport, and have so many new ways to think about my mindset with skiing.”

Elaine G, Parent

★★★★★

“I just wanted to share how great this program has been for my son. The excitement and focus he had as he did his Back The Team challenge this morning was inspiring. For him to learn to verbalize his own knowledge well enough to tell you all his story was unreal. It shows the extra level of passion you all have unlocked for him. I hope you know how you are helping these kids to find their next level and helping them develop skills that will carry them through life.”
