LTA Coach Mentoring is a scheme designed to provide bespoke CPD for LTA accredited coaches to develop themselves and their programmes. Our Tennis Squad Directors are part of the UK network of trained EMCC mentors , each with their own specialist areas of expertise and experience. We also deliver less formal mentoring activites within our team and for aspiring young coaches in the region. 

What is mentoring? Mentoring is a form of development, where a Mentor supports you (a mentee) to create learning, self-development and improved performance in a way that benefits you. One thing that all forms of mentoring have in common is that people are using it to help them move forward in a certain direction. Mentoring is normally a conversation, or series of conversations, one person has with another. The mentor intends to produce a conversation that will benefit the other person, the mentee, in a way that relates to the mentee’s learning and progress.

Why do people have mentoring? People enlist the services of a Mentor because they want to improve their situations and achieve goals. They want to learn new ways of thinking and approaching situations, in order to get better results.

Common goals might be being more effective and organised at work, gaining confidence in certain situations, or simply relating to other people more effectively. A skilled Mentor uses a combination of observation, questioning, listening and feedback to create a conversation rich in insight and learning. At times they may share their experience in a way that supports your learning and growth. For the Mentee, they will experience a focus and attention that enable them to develop a greater awareness and appreciation of their own circumstances. In addition, they will also create new ways to resolve issues, produce better results and generally achieve goals more easily. Find out more:
