AN ATHLETE EMPOWERMENT & STORYTELLING ORGANIZATION

PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT, PERSONAL BRAND COACHING & LIFE READINESS TOOLS TO HELP YOUNG ATHLETES THRIVE BEYOND THE GAME

Overlooked sits at the intersection of wellness, education, and storytelling. It’s more than just a mental health organization or a storytelling company—it’s a holistic support platform designed to help student-athletes thrive emotionally, personally, and professionally.

Founded by Emmett Lynch Jr., a Chicago native and former athlete. His love for storytelling began in high school and transcended through his time as a student-athlete at Northern Illinois University and Northern Iowa where he documented his football career.

After earning a degree in Digital Media Journalism, he took on roles at the Creative Artists Agency and FOX Sports Films as a creative producer for sports documentaries.

Now sharing the stories of athletes across the country. Partnering with brands, non-profits and other institutions to empower athletes with knowledge and resources through the Overlooked Sports Program.

Most sports documentaries celebrate victory, but few explore the athletes denied the chance to shine due to injury and uncontrollable circumstances.

Former athlete Emmett Lynch Jr. documents the raw, personal experiences of walk-ons and top recruits, revealing the hidden obstacles faced by athletes in Division-1 college football.
