Mentoring vs Coaching At Rock Solid Arena





Coaches are the ones on the sidelines telling the players how to get the job done - they are calling plays, making substitutions and are focused on the "team" reaching a goal. Mentors are more like team captains. They aren't coaching from the sidelines, they are in the game. Mentors aren't telling people what they need to do; they are working with them to get the job done. Mentors are not just focused on giving the instruction; mentors are more willing to have a balanced relationship with those they are working with. Mentors don't just say "you have to do it and it needs to be done this way,". Mentors are going to be the ones who recognize that working with others will also help them grow. That's what Rock Solid Arena provides. Hands on - your hands - to learn what to do and how to do it. Your horse learns to work for "you". Your horse learns to trust "you." When you and your horse leave - your horse takes home the trust he's built with you. He doesn't leave it with me, the trainer!
