2025 Mentorship Program – Tier 1

Description

Tier 1 – Elite Mentorship

Mentors: Current or Retired Professional Football Players
For serious Grade 11/12 athletes preparing for university football or managing a high-profile recruiting process.

Tier 1 is designed for top-level athletes looking to gain every edge during a critical season. With direct access to pro-level insight, you’ll sharpen your technique, manage in-season demands, and get personalized guidance from someone who’s competed at the highest level. This is for athletes ready to take the next step and prepare for university football.

What’s Included:

• Biweekly 1-on-1 Zoom sessions (1 hour) with your chosen professional mentor

• Biweekly team meetings focused on recruiting, in-season training, and mental performance.

• Position-specific coaching tailored to your current goals and game film

• Exclusive access to a top-tier coach (only three athletes per mentor)

Mentorship Procedure:

• Coach availability is published on each profile. Please confirm that your availability aligns with the registration date.

• After you register, your coach will reach out to confirm a time for your first session. This will be booked before August 17, but the scheduled date will be after the official start of the program.

• In that first session, you and your mentor will set your schedule for all eight meetings (to the best of your mutual availability).

• All sessions are expected to be honoured once confirmed. Missed meetings will not be rescheduled.
