About Us
No athlete should carry it alone
From Your Teammate is a movement led by student-athletes, transforming the grind of sport and school into a shared support system. We connect mentors and mentees across sports, schools, and time zones; share evidence-based tools for academics, travel, and time management; and help teams work more effectively together through MBTI-informed insights. Guided by professionals and athletes with lived experience, FYT exists to reduce burnout and anxiety, protect mental health, and sustain balance and joy in both learning and sport. No medal is worth your well-being, and no student-athlete should carry the journey alone.
​
We envision a future where every student-athlete, regardless of background, ability, or circumstance, has the support they need to thrive academically, personally, and mentally—and never has to carry the journey alone.
About the Founder
Hi, I'm Emma Lee, a junior full IB student and four-time Team USA member for Taekwondo. Sports have always been a big part of my life. I started as a competitive cheerleader, but due to shoulder injury I had to close that chapter. As the youngest sibling, I often watched my brothers and sisters play sports, which led me to try Taekwondo. I began competing in 2020, right as the pandemic hit, and juggling training with school was overwhelming.
My older siblings helped me manage the stress and pressure, and it made me realize how important it is to have support. This inspired me to create From Your Teammate, a platform for athletes to find the support I wished I had during my toughest times. No athlete should face burnout, isolation, or pressure alone.
