IAPathways Student-Athlete Mentoring Programmes We double the odds of their engagement in their academic and sporting pursuits and well being.

The mission of the student-athlete mentoring programme is to better prepare and integrate students, parents and coaches for sporting/academic goals and social life. We support the most potent elements linked to long term success for student athletes, so that they feel that they have a mentor who made them excited about learning, who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams and supported them emotionally through their stages of development.

Tough for parents to find the middle ground between the two extremes of everyone's a winner vs. winning is everything. Both approaches give the illusion of winning at a young age as if the result or the trophy matters. Very few kids are taught to learn, to love and trust the process, and even fewer parents can stand to watch their kids learn from failure. Winning and the illusion of winning is much easier.

The word "Winning" should not be used in a competitive context at 12&U.

You win every time you achieve or replicate something you have worked on in coaching or hitting sessions.

Competition is useful to measure where you are, trial and error, learn to solve problems, compete and work on areas of development. Winning should be low on the priority of a developing player.

Preparing now to be a "WINNER" in the future.

We get asked all the time "what is the single best thing a parent and coach can do for a young athlete?" Our answer is simple: help them fall in love with the sport. Only then will they take ownership and play long enough to get any good at it. Please share if you agree, and if not, what would your answer be ?

Master handling Insecurities , Adaptation to New Conditions and Building Relationships :

It requires courage to take the route of adventure. The path will be more insecure than secure, but once an individual learns adaptation, one begins to gradually master it, and then the real journey of adventure through its highs and lows, keeps challenging them to strive for excellence ....

Let your kids find their own sports passions.

Our founder, and a parent of 2 athlete students , who live to play a sport every day ....

" It's not our job as parents to discover what our children are passionate about. That job belongs to them. We need to focus on their interests and try not to impose our own. After all, one of the best gifts we can give our children is to allow them to find what truly makes them smile." 😊 Rest will fall in place !

Placing the student at the center of the education process is our method.

The guiding philosophy of our mentorship is the central role of the student and his or her abilities in relation to the acquisition of knowledge.

The objective is to create an effective and solid working methodology in all areas to encourage greater autonomy and responsibility.

Finally, we also endeavour to create a positive mindset, to ensure the united pursuit of a shared objective in an excellent group atmosphere between the team of coaches and parents we work with .

1)Long Term Athletic & Tennis Development of the specific athlete must be considered when formulating the year round oppurtuinity when considering for international training teams, competition and developmental approaches.

2) Athletes and parents should visit to their top choices of training setups and review the training team and see how they feel.

3)Consider varying aspects within the academy: team, support, terrain, motivation, injury managememt, access to higher level of competition and better level of play on a daily basis.

4) Region with least distraction to maintain focus for the purpose.

5) Setup which has a high conditions of discipline and management to keep the players in check.

6) Then make a 4 year decision, for it will impact the next 40 years of how the athlete / student will shape up.

7) Remember it's a 40 year decision within a 4 year decision, so it's important to be wise with your resources.

8) Then compare based on your experiences and other parameters that are important for the family.

DO NOT FEAR CHANGE !

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE A DECISION UNLESS YOU HAVE TRIED & TESTED YOUR TOP CHOICES. BELIEVE ONLY YOUR EXPERIENCE !

WHAT IS EFFECTIVE COACHING & MENTORING ?

It is the ability to help the pupil(s) acquire a new or modified behaviour, either mentally, physically or both. Effective coaching ultimate goals in my opinion are:

1. To help increase the players competence
2. To enhance the players enjoyment and satisfaction of their sport.
3. To help the player develop as a person through sport.
4. To help them understand the relevance and importance of values that will be the compass that guides them through their journey into the direction of goals and dreams.

Work with the Student Not On the Student!

A working relationship is built upon a partnership that respects the persons expertise and perspectives. It is based around the belief that the resources and motivation to change lie within the person and a nurturing of the persons right and capacity for self-determination.

Students tend to change more easily if the change comes from within each one of us, student, parent rather than being forced upon them by the coach or parent.

A method I have used all the while !

The difference between permanent change and temporary improvements revolve around the coaches / mentors ability to draw improvement out of the player rather than instilling into the player !!
