What Would A Mentoring Programme Look Like?
STEP ONE
INITIAL SELF REVIEW
An opportunity for honest self-judgment to get the most out of the programme.
Coaches will reflect on a range of attributes involved in the delivery of football sessions
STEP TWO
PERSONALISED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Mentors will use the initial self review and will liaise with the coach to determine what will be focused on during the programme
STEP THREE
OBSERVE MENTOR
DELIVERED SESSIONS
Providing an opportunity for coaches to observe how to deliver effective football sessions. Mentors will interact with coaches throughout to explain thought processes and decisions made.
STEP FOUR
COACHES INCREASE SESSION DELIVERY
Beginning with warm-ups, coaches will put into practice the skills observed and discussed with their mentor.
Mentors will feedback at the end of each session and will provide guidance as to how to make progress.
Coaches will progress to delivering full sessions.
STEP FIVE
FINAL SELF REVIEW
Coaches will again complete a self review to assess their ability to deliver football sessions while reflecting on the progress made over the programme.
The mentor will create a final reflection of the coach's progress which can be used to evidence professional development via a graph.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM MENTORING?

Everyone can always find new things to learn, new skills to pick up and new strategies to have a go at.
Coaches who might particularly benefit may include:
-
Coaches with no formal training

It can be hard for coaches to find the time to focus on their own development but it is so important for all of us to continue pushing to do better and to try new things. This is why we run tailored CPD training events to help build a legacy of high quality coaching in your club.
Topics Could Include...

Knowing how to develop players
Creating safe, fun & engaging sessions
