Coach Mentoring: Panel Discussion

Our experienced panel discusses why individualised coach mentoring, where learning is based around your own personal goals, can be the best.

Register for the live panel discussion on Wednesday 21st April from 9:30 – 10:30am (UK time)

For many people, the best way to learn is on an individualised coach mentoring programme, where the learning is based around your own personal goals and areas you want to develop. Nonetheless, many coaches are not confident moving forward with a mentor. In this hour-long panel discussion, some of the most experienced coaches and coach educators in the UK discuss topics including:

the value of mentoring
how to find a mentor
how does a mentoring relationship work?
how to get the most from your mentoring relationship.

If you are a coach in tennis or any other sport, a manager of a team, someone who is interested in mentoring or being mentored, then this session is for you.
