Last month I wrote on Developing Leadership in Gymnastics Organizations. Successful
businesses are full of strong leaders and continually strive to nurture leadership skills in all their
employees. Another way to create leaders is through mentorship. With the difficulty nation-wide in
finding good qualified Gymnastics professionals, organizations should consider career
development within their organization...
Mentorship in Gymnastics Organizations
By definition, a Mentor is a close, trusted, and experienced counselor or guide. A mentor is
further defined as a teacher, tutor, and coach. Mentorship is defined as the influence, guidance,
or direction exerted by a mentor. Much like a coach guides and assists their gymnasts; mentors
provide direction and assistance to others.
Modern use of mentor refers to an experienced, senior leader or manager who develops younger,
less experienced leaders and provides career counseling and sponsorship to these individuals.
Mentorship contributes to the development of these future leaders. Mentorship is a two-way
street. The mentor must be willing to share knowledge, training, and experience in a trusted and
respected atmosphere. In turn, the individual receiving the mentorship must trust and respect the
mentor, while being open and receptive to the process. Caring is the core of mentorship. A
mentor may care as a parent cares. We must remember that mentorship means taking some
risks, to include allowing our mentee to make mistakes during their training. Mentors risk
disappointment, failure, and rejection.
