Developing ideas presented in Mentoring 1 (Week 6)

By mentorship we mean a “helping relationship” centred around an experienced professional’s transfer of knowledge and know how to a trainee in order to advance the junior professional’s understanding and eventual achievement

Charlesworth, Knudson and Seeman (2013)

informal transmission of knowledge ... psychosocial support ... over a sustained period of time ...

between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the mentee)

Adapted from Bozeman and Feeney (2007)

... it would seem logical for coach education to harness the obvious power and influence of experience, and other influential coaches, to work toward sound coach development objectives.

Cushion, Armour and Jones (2003)

the mentors received an educational benefit through critical reflection and observation and, because the mentor had a helping role rather than an evaluative one, program effectiveness was enhanced.

Cushion, Armour and Jones (2003)

It would seem imperative for mentors to have established the appropriate position in the sporting and coaching hierarchy. They would have to have the necessary amount and mix of social, cultural, and symbolic capital. The mentor would also have to hold expert power, which is based not only on the knowledge of the mentor, but upon the perceptions of the coaches regarding that knowledge.

Cushion, Armour and Jones (2003)

By opening up our professional practices to scrutiny, by ourselves and our peers, we create the possibility of turning these areas of practice into “sites of contestation” where we can begin to address, practically and specifically, issues and problems.

(Kirk and Tinning, 1990, p. 9 quoted in Cushion, Armour and Jones (2003))

England came into the World T20 as the best women's team around. They've barely lost a T20 in a year. They have the best batsmen in the world, the best bowling attack, field very well and are lead by an experienced World Cup and World T20 winning captain. They breezed past Australia at Galle only a few days ago, scoring their last 100 runs in approximately 10 overs to win by seven wickets and 11 balls. They're the most professional women's cricket side history...

... and Australia beat them.

England usually look assured and confident, but they spent their innings looking anxious. Jodie Fields said that England hadn't changed her game plan from Galle, so what changed was that the English players weren't playing in a non-televised event in front of seven people; they were playing a globally televised final in front of a large crowd. The pressure of that, combined with good swing from the Australian pace bowlers and some turn from their spinners seemed to crumble this formally invincible side.

... although human beings are individually powerful, we must act together to achieve what we could not achieve on our own.

Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler (2009)

Isabel walked forward and stood before the painting. She felt as she always did when she stood in front of a great work of art; a sense of marvel that she was so close to an artefact that was once worked upon by an artist of such stature as Poussin. He did this, she mused: he thought this painting, he touched this canvas.

Alexander McCall Smith, The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds (2012)

... humans distinguish themselves by being able to learn through observing successes they have not yet had. This type of self-modeling is known as feedforward, an image of future mastery ...

Peter W. Dowrick, Weol Soon Kim-Rupnow and Thomas J. Power (2006)
