Alvie’s Account: His Experience Mentoring Cole





When Cole came into OnTarget he struck me as a quiet lad who didn't come across as particularly troublesome. However, once some time had passed, I saw that he was influenced by his peers and started to behave differently. After my first one to one interaction, I realised that Cole was actually a very focussed individual with a clear plan in life. He took care of many responsibilities outside of school life, and also tried his best at school with a clear career plan in mind. On top of this, he was a very talented footballer and spent a lot of time outside of school doing this hobby. I realised that Cole had the correct mindset in life, and just needed a bit of encouragement.




Over the next few weeks, I worked with Cole to raise his confidence in himself, and saw him becoming a much stronger individual who was less easily influenced by his peers. Also, with the sessions provided by Sheffield Wednesday, he was able to show off his footballing ability, and was even offered the opportunity to further nurture his skills with the club. It was great to see his progress and growth through OnTarget, and he has the potential to be very successful in the future with the boost given to him.
