Heroes Sport Mentorship Programme

Heroes Sport Mentorship Programme

The HEROES mentorship programme is a project at the BNSC mainly aimed at capacity building of coaches and elite athletes in various National Sport Associations to mentor youth through sport.

• The two main objectives of the programme are ; 

1. Capacity building of coaches at grassroots level so as to empower the young athletes.
2. To empower the elite and young athletes to be leaders and mentors to their peers and others in their communities

• The Programme was launched in 2015 as a collaboration between the BNSC and PCI Botswana.
• There are currently 30 Mentors under the Programme, being active and former athletes.

•  The programme aims at building a holistic athlete in the form of a leader who can be able to impart knowledge, skills and experiences to those people he/she is in contact with in their daily lives.

•  This is beneficial to shaping our youth to become positively active citizens of our country.
