New Sport Mentor Group launched
Ex-Professional sportsmen and women form “Sport Mentor Group” to help current and ex athletes during this period of uncertainty.
Gail Emms (Olympic silver medallist badminton) and Lee Hendrie (Aston Villa and England football) have set-up a mentor service to current athletes as well as support to former sports professionals affected by current situation.
In light of recent developments with COVID-19, Gail Emms (Olympic silver medallist badminton) and Lee Hendrie (Aston Villa and England football) are proud to announce the newest sports professional collaboration - Sport Mentor Group – for those affected and need support.
There has always been a need for a place where sportsmen and women can talk with other like-minded athletes. With more athletes talking about the need to talk about mental health, this is the perfect time to support each other in this unique situation. Being an elite athlete is more than just about being good at a sport, it’s about self awareness and belonging. And being in elite sport is an honour and a privilege. It is intense, and the pressure is on. The rewards can be great… It can bring joy and pain… and sometimes the only people who only truly understand the rollercoaster journey, are the ones that have been through it.
The Sport Mentor Group has been created in light of the recent events of uncertainty. The world class training programmes have been disrupted, events cancelled, and many people are frustrated, scared, and confused. A small group of ex-pro sportsmen and women from the world of football, rugby, cricket and Olympic sport want to give back and use their experiences to help guide those through the unknown.
The Sport Mentor Group is here for no judgement and no bullsh**t chat. No reporting back to clubs, coaches, managers or family. 100% confidentiality. 1:1 mentoring, learning and advice.
