CONNECTION SESSIONS

These are 1-on-1 or small group sessions, working with Coach Walker on mentorship for adolescents and young adult coaching. We develop individualized plans up to four times a month for 60 minutes. The sessions are in-person and set up to be a comfortable place for the mentees to learn and grow as individuals. It is a safe space for them to be vulnerable and express what their challenges are without any judgment. From there, strategies are given, and confidence is built to take on their challenges through techniques like confidence coaching. While meetings are highly encouraged to be in-person, online appointments are available.

ADD-ON SESSIONS

One of our primary goals at T.E.A.M.S. Coaching is to provide a variety of offerings that can potentially have value to mentees and their families. To supplement the connection sessions, T.E.A.M.S. Coaching offers character-building workshops, athletic training sessions, and homework huddles with executive functioning support, plus a new girls’ group. This format provides opportunities to be involved with the T.E.A.M.S. community even if you cannot commit to the individual mentoring sessions…

…T.E.A.M.S. Coaching also recognizes the importance of social interaction and development. We provide opportunities for your teen to participate in monthly social activities and events organized and hosted by Coach Walker. A group of Junior Mentors also joins the activities as a built-in community for the mentees to interact with and learn from. These social events and skill application opportunities can be hikes, basketball tournaments, bowling, local sporting events, movie nights, etc.

In addition, T.E.A.M.S. Coaching hosts guest speakers to present on the most relevant topics for either mentees or the parents of mentees. These events feature a variety of speakers, including established entrepreneurs, college students, Young Adults new to the workforce, and experts in teen behavior patterns. The audiences will have a chance to be informed and inspired by a variety of stories in our community.

PARENT CONSULTATION

We believe parental involvement is key to a teen’s success. Coach Walker works closely with parents to make sure plans stay on track and are focused on the most important needs of the mentees. He provides updates on the progress of the short and long-term goals for the mentees through parent consultation. Then, he receives input about the target areas for upcoming sessions.
