COACH | MENTOR | FIELD EXPERT

Coaches, Mentors and Field Experts, each fulfill most of the following criteria:

– They are experts in their fields and willing to share that expertise across our extended network;
– They are aligned with the values of Spirit of the Game;
– They can allocate time and resources towards helping the SotG Foundation pursue its mission;
– They have a large Impact network of their own and are actively looking to expand their networks.

Coaches, Mentors and Field Experts benefit from participating in our extended Impact network, as well as through the promotional channels of the foundation (social media, websites, events and conferences).

Members of this group can expect to be regularly consulted by the Management team, the members of the Board and the committees of the SOTG100 group.

Coaches, Mentors and Field Experts are the only representatives of the Foundation which may charge for their services under our banner.
