An Introduction to Mentoring

• What is a Mentor?
  
  • A mentor is 'a suitable person, who is willing and able to act as a confidential helper and guide to another player or coach, to stimulate development and make it more effective'.
    
• The role of the Mentor
  
  • The mentor helps the individual to:
    
    • assess their own needs;
      
    • establish a development plan.
      
• Regular review meetings can then be arranged to:
  
  • discuss the progress made;
    
  • review the learning;
    
  • set future targets.
    

Knowing that an individual has a meeting coming up with the mentor helps them to focus on achieving targets! The mentor will also give the individual the opportunity to try out, in confidence, a range of ideas and methods of play or coaching before having to make decisions on the way ahead.

• The role of the Mentee
  
  • Your mentor will help you achieve aims and goals by:
    
    • identifying your strengths and weaknesses;
      
    • setting personal and achievable targets;
      
    • reviewing the progress you have made on a regular basis;
