Frequently Asked Questions
Everything families and mentors want to know about how mentorship works at Athlete To Athlete.
Is the program in person?
Our program is online and conducted over video calls. We focus on the Mentorship side of being a student athlete as opposed to in-person drills and coaching. So we match your child with a college athlete that they can look up to, confide in, ask questions to, set goals with, and so much more.
How does the pairing process work?
We use what you submit in our sign-up form to find the best mentor match for your child. If there is something we could do better, feel free to let us know. We're confident they'll be a great fit!
What do they talk about?
Your child’s mentor is there for them as an expert guide, resource, and role model for anything they need support with. While we provide our mentors resources to guide the sessions if needed, we suggest that you come with a few initial areas you and your child would like to learn about or improve on.
What if I don’t like who I’m paired with?
Let us know! We’re happy to find someone new for you and your child to meet if you don’t feel like the mentor is a good fit.
Do the athletes get paid?
Yes! The athletes are paid for each and every session.
Can I choose the sport and position of the Mentor?
Yes! We can always match your child by the sports that we have listed, and almost always their position as well.
Can I choose a specific school or athlete?
We unfortunately are not able to match with specific schools and athletes due to limited availability.
What age of students do you work with?
We can work with any athletes of age 6-18.
What if my child’s sport isn’t offered?
Feel free to sign up under a different sport and let our mentor coordinator know what you are looking for. We may be able to help.
Do I get paid for my time?
Yes, you will be paid for all mentorship sessions that you participate in.
Are there resources for me to lead the calls?
Yes, we provide you with numerous resources and discussion templates to guide the calls, and recommend that you constantly communicate with your student and their parent to see what topics they are interested in discussing.
Can I have more than one student?
Yes, we can pair you with more than one student. We try to be careful pairing you with too many students though, so that you can work with them and avoid scheduling conflicts.
