There is a variety of mentoring models which are used outside the field of sport in fields such as Education, Business and Nursing that could be considered for use in the development of a mentoring programme (Bloom et al, 1998). Common models that appear in these fields are One on one, Peer, Team, Competency based and the recent edition of E-mentoring. (Byrne & Keefe, 2002) and (Busen & Engebretson, 1999). However, with formal mentoring gaining momentum in the sports field recent models of Supervisory (formal), Informal and facilitated have been identified by the coaching association of Canada and could be superior options (Coaching Association of Canada, 2001).

A potential career that I have in mind is becoming a Sport Psychologist. The first scholarly article I found is titled “NCAA Athletic Administrators’ Preferred Characteristics for Sport Psychology Positions: A Consumer Market Analysis”. The study conducted in this article looks into the market for Sport Psychologist in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). It compares different Athletic administrator’s preferences for sport psychology positions based on time, commitment, affiliation, payment, services, and clients. The next scholarly article I found is titled “Professional Philosophy in the Sport Psychology Service Delivery: Building on Theory and Practice”. The purpose of this article is to explain the role of professional philosophy in sport psychology practice. Examples of how professional philosophy is the foundation of sport psychology practice are shown. And a conceptualization of the philosophy of service through s discussion of the the necessary components that were grouped using a hierarchy chart are explained. Both of these articles use a unique research process, and have relevance to my potential career path.

Generally, under qualified sporting coaches will coach the way they were coached, take experiences from being coached or adapt techniques seen in movies or sporting documentaries (Lockwood & Perlman, 2008, p. 30). This generally causes coaches to take an authoritarian approach that for children aged between five and 12 is ineffective and may cause children to lose interest as well as confidence (Hedstrom & Gould, 2004; Lockwood & Perlman, 2008).

In prior times, for instance, it would have been incomprehensible that a college's head football mentor was the most generously compensated state representative, surpassing considerably what is paid to the president of his college or the legislative leader of his state. Presently, in any case, that circumstance is not uncommon. USA Today has reported that the normal yearly pay for head football mentors at FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) schools is $1.64 million.9
My topic is similar to yours. I have always been intrigued to examine the relationship between coach and athlete. In my experience, I have found coaches who provide positive support and are constructive with their criticism are more enjoyable to play for and give the athlete a more positive experience. Coaches that come across as condescending seem to push kids away from the game. It is important that the student-athlete has a positive experience, especially student-athletes at a young age. I feel if a student-athlete has a negative experience at the interscholastic level he or she will be less likely to stick with the sport.
What is a coach? Webster dictionary says a person who teaches and trains athletes, a person who teaches and trains the members of a sports team and makes decisions about how the team plays games.

Athletics play an influential part in my life because it brings responsibility, and prepares me for the real world.
Research proved that athletes found their coaches training as well as instruction behavior and their style of coaching did have an impact on individual performance. This was important research for me in understanding how those I coach perceive my leadership and whether or not I am effective as their leader. My teams’ outstanding performance or lack of performance can be a direct link to my type of leadership skills in addition to my training. The primary role of any coach or athletic leader is to help their athletes and improve on their individual performance. “Several sport studies exploring the coach-athlete relationship claim that effective coaching includes basic ingredients such as empathic understanding, honesty, support, liking, acceptance, friendliness, cooperation, caring and respect” (Moen, Hoigaard, & Peters, 2014, p. 76). The challenge for me is finding the balance between being supportive and meeting the individual needs of team members while also enhancing their ability and understanding of the sport. Understanding how to lead and coach various personalities within the team is essential to the team’s
Typically, a coach will conduct practice sessions, analyze an opponent's strengths and weakness’ as well as their own players, keep records of athletes and team records, and provide encouragement.
