Athlete mentors will be recruited and trained to meet regularly with emerging elite pathway athletes in 1-1 fortnightly mentoring sessions - online or in person. Mentors support athletes as they develop holistically in a a safe and trusting environment, nurturing a foundation of strong identity, character, self worth, core beliefs, values, purpose and motivation. Mentors will assist in identifying blockages to development and empower athletes to take responsible for their own growth as people and athletes. The mentoring experience can be transformative and elevate an athlete to a higher level of personal and sporting satisfaction.
