Mentoring of Young Atletes
Having two children own my own (that have grown to be young adults and athletes), I noticed how many young athletes are pushed by parents, peers, clubs, agents, PE teachers towards quick and fast success or - due to lack of the right support - are simply winging it, as good as they can.
Albeit there is a lot of money in sports these days, many coaches and clubs are acting - comparably to the Corporate Business World - in a way that they want the top athletes, however are not willing to put in the time, money, patience and resources to grow and mentor the talented, determined young girls and boys.
As we all know it takes a village to raise a child. not to say that these young athletes are children. It is just that they do not have the necessary experience and know-how needed to be truly successful as an athlete.
I do not have all the answers, however I learnt that we can only grow if we accept our own limitations as well as never lose the curiosity to seek to know what we do not know. So I have been putting together a small and dedicated team of coaches, nutritionists, parents, educators, employers, doctors, physiotherapists, psychologist, mentors and sponsors that share my views and passion to work with young athletes.
Our Strategy has three pillars:
1. Providing Access to Free and Unbiased Knowledge.
2. Representing the Athletes' interests in a proper, fair and sustained manner; and
3. Giving Athletes access to Training Facilities and an Environment that allows them to grow on a personal level, as athletes and to get them prepared for a Life after their Sports Career.
The project is under way and I hope to report more to you in short time
If you are interested in joining the team as an advisor, mentor or investor - please contact me.
Thank you.
