The Mentor Program exists for families who are already committed to training excellence, not for beginners and not for casual participation. I believe that this is the missing gem to help families who are looking to achieve high performance.
This program was created for players who train regularly, who take competition seriously, and whose parents are actively involved in supporting long-term development. Before anything begins, the first step is always to determine whether this program is the right fit for the player’s needs, readiness, and environment.
Not every talented player needs this level of structure. Not every family wants it. That clarity is intentional.
Fit comes before commitment
The Mentor Program does not start with promises or packages. It starts with assessment.
We look at the player’s current training level, competition exposure, mental readiness, and the support structure around them. At the same time, we look at the parent’s expectations, availability, and decision-making role.
The goal of this initial stage is simple: to confirm whether a structured, long-term mentoring approach will add value, or whether the player is better served by continuing without it for now. This protects the player, the family, and the integrity of the program.
Why advanced players still struggle without a system
Many players in structured training environments still plateau or regress. Not because they lack ability, but because excellence requires coordination. High-quality training without a wider framework often leads to overload, inconsistent competition choices, unclear progress markers, and unnecessary emotional pressure. As the level increases, the margin for error becomes smaller.
The Mentor Program exists to provide that missing coordination, ensuring training excellence translates into competition stability and long-term progression.
Excellence requires more than sessions
At higher levels, development is no longer about learning basic skills. It is about timing, sequencing, and decision quality. When to push volume, when to reduce load.
Which tournaments build readiness, and which ones simply add stress.
How to structure breaks so they protect motivation rather than interrupt progress.
How to train the mind daily so performance does not collapse under pressure. These decisions cannot be made session by session. They require oversight.
Mental training as a performance skill
At performance-focused levels, mental training cannot be motivational or occasional. The Mentor Program includes structured daily mental training that is tailored to the player, regularly reviewed, and designed to reduce noise under pressure, so technical ability remains accessible during competition. This is one of the biggest differences between players who train well and players who compete well.
The role of parents in a performance pathway
Parents in this program are not asked to coach. They are supported to make informed decisions. Parents receive clear planning frameworks, progress indicators, and communication tools, so they understand why certain choices are made and how to support the process without increasing pressure or comparison. This clarity is essential when pursuing excellence.
What the Mentor Program is, and is not
It is a structured support system for performance-oriented players. It is designed to work alongside existing coaches. It is focused on long-term development, not quick outcomes.
It is not a beginner pathway. It is not a replacement for training. It does not guarantee results, this is something you cannot purchase.
The purpose at its core
The Mentor Program exists to support training excellence with intelligent structure where it is not available, so talent, effort, and ambition are not left to chance.
By first confirming fit, and then building a calm, aligned system around the player, the program protects both development and opportunity over time.
In a season, you will be able to follow the development of your child, helping them through their difficulties keeping the plan and making sure that you have done your part right.
And if they keep the plan, you could help them out and we timed the tournaments right, then we might see the required results at the end of season.
