ANOTHER GREAT YEAR OF MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS

Here are some highlights from our post program survey from one of our participating schools!

  • 100% of respondents said they feel more confident after taking part in the Head to Head program.
  • Majority of students were more excited to go to school when they knew their Olympian mentor was visiting.
  • 100% of respondents said they have better or more tools to manage pressure, nerves and anxiety after being part of the Head to Head program
Student Takeaways:

"Never give up on your dreams. If you work hard, your goals are attainable."

"It is greatly important to know that mistakes are just growing experiences and everybody makes them"

"It was a super helpful and great experience... I think having more of those "high level" training sessions would highly benefit teams in the future. "

Get in touch if your school or club wants to take part in our mentorship program!  The upcoming year is an Olympic year so it will be a really exciting time to be involved!
