Mentoring is often highlighted as one of the most
effective means to keep coaches involved in sport long term.
It can be defined as a developmental and sharing relationship where
one person invests their time and understanding to develop another
person's growth and skills. In summary, mentors help coaches to
recognise and maximize their learning.
Glasgow Sport Coach Mentoring Programme
The overall aim of this programme is to increase participation in a
range of sports by supporting the development of volunteer coaches
within priority clubs. The programme is developed with the use of
personal development plans, in addition to general observations and
feedback on coaching that specific sport. Mentors will work with coaches
to develop both their own skills and that of the coach. In addition, a
senior mentor will oversee the programme in order to provide advice and
experience.
