What is High Performance mentoring?

Performance mentoring can elevate sporting performance by challenging you in a focused and ambitious manner to achieve your potential. Engaging in personal and professional growth, the program will assist you in clarifying personal goals and performance targets. This work will develop performance and self-management skills enabling you to perform in a consistent manner. The addition of performance mentoring coupled with ambition creates the right environment to fulfill potential. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Who can benefit from high performance mentoring?

Athletes and Coaches

"You are the only person in the world that can use your ability; you decide how great you will be"

Both athlete and coach can benefit from high performance mentoring. The role of athlete and coach are separate but interconnected entities. Recent research has identified some common factors that can affect the performances of both.

The key factors listed by both athletes and coaches were;

• Competition
• Training
• Social life
• Education
• Employment
• Media
• Finance

A high performance mentor can help you to successfully manage these factors in a manner that allows you to embrace your potential and fast track your sporting development.

Every athlete and coach goes through a number of challenges during their sporting career. The big difference is that some can deal with these effectively and respond with world class performance. Others allow these to negatively impact their development.

"The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible"

What does it involve?

The program will be tailored for specific individual needs. Athletes and coaches can avail of a number of supports depending on their own desired areas to address.
