Mentor-the-Mentor

Whether a mentoring program is just a single player or has been adopted by an entire Club, it is important that mentors who are mentoring younger players have a support structure in place to grow and be set up for success.  

When a mentoring program is comprised of several mentors, Instepper strongly encourage that one of the mentors takes on the added responsibility of mentoring-the-mentors.

A mentoring program that has a strong mentor-the-mentor component has many benefits, including:

• Improves mentoring quality and consistency.
• Builds mentor confidence and competence.
• Provides more opportunities for mentor growth.
• Fosters a stronger and growing community.
• Program sustainability and outreach.
