Football Canada unveils mentorship program

Football Canada in partnership with RISE athlete is proud to provide a unique mentorship program, Athletes Submitting Knowledge (ASK) for athletes age 15-18 focusing on the transition from developmental to competitive football.

 

Starting November 12-18, retired football players will recount their unique experience of how they transitioned to competitive football through the Athletes Submitting Knowledge blog at http://www.riseathlete.com/apps/blog. Readers are encouraged to join the discussion through Twitter, using the hashtag #ASKfbcan or by posting their questions or comments below the blog entry in the discussion section.

 

Coaches are invited to nominate players to participate in the blog through the attached form HERE.

 

“Football Canada is excited to not only give athletes considering making the transition to competitive football the opportunity to hear former players stories of making the transition but also the opportunity to interact with these role models, said Football Canada Director of Sport, Rick Sowieta. “We urge coaches to nominate and encourage their players to participate in the program and for athletes to take advantage of this opportunity.”
