Mentoring is a powerful educational tool that is used across many disciplines ranging from business and medicine through to sports coaching. The process provides accelerated learning and helps inexperienced practitioners on the path to becoming an expert in the field. The present article discusses Mentoring in the context of the initiatives taken by Tennis Coach Ireland, whereby the primary purpose of the Mentoring Programme was to be part of a support system for those coaches who are dedicated to developing professionally and maximising their coaching potential.
