4. Developing ideas presented in Mentoring 1 (Week 6)

5. 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)

6. 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)

7. ... 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)

9. 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)

10. 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)

11. 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))

18. 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...

33. 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.

35. ... 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)

36. 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)

37. ... 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)

38. Effective mentors ...
support the mentee’s transition to independence ...
educate and encourage ...
communicate empathy and genuineness ...
they expose the mentee to a variety of methods and
new opportunities
Charlesworth, Knudson and Seeman (2013)
