| Women's Committee Mentoring Program |
RETURN TO WOMEN'S COMMITTEE HOMEPAGE
 The NSCAA women’s mentoring program was launched in 2003 to help women become better coaches, to develop female coaches as leaders and to help prepare women for leadership positions. For more information, or for an application, please contact Jen Plante' at jplante@theatlantabeat.com
What is a mentor?
A mentor affects the professional life of a protégé by fostering insight, identifying needed knowledge and expanding growth opportunities. Traditionally, the mentoring relationship consists of an experienced coach providing guidance and advice to someone with less experience.
Why become a mentor?
Mentoring gives you the extraordinary opportunity to facilitate a colleague’s personal and professional growth by sharing knowledge you have learned through years of experience. While the primary intent of your mentoring role is to challenge your mentee to think in new and different ways, mentoring allows you to strengthen your coaching and leadership skills by working with individuals from different backgrounds and with different personality types, garner a fresh perspective on your own performance and create a legacy that has a lasting impact on your protégé.
Benefits for mentees
Having a supportive relationship with an experienced, understanding person can make a huge difference in your life. Being a mentee can raise your level of achievement through networking, building self-confidence, helping you find inspiration, learning new skills and aspiring to achieve goals you may have previously thought were unreachable. There are more than 100 coaches currently involved in the NSCAA women’s mentoring program. The coaching levels range from youth, high school and club through the collegiate ranks. |
