Mentoring

Mentoring is defined as teaching a person to upgrade their skills based on the mentor’s knowledge and experience. In the Always Forward Coaching context, mentoring is one on one conversation with Coach Craig where he will share his experience and knowledge on the client’s topic of choice and help enhance the client’s knowledge and skills. The session may be purely mentoring or a hybrid coaching-mentoring session. Areas where mentoring can help may include:

• Season Planning
• Technical Knowledge Upgrades
• Working with Disabled Athletes
• How to use Technology
• Gap Anaylsis

Group Coaching
