Mentorship isn’t always about grand gestures or formal meetings with someone decades ahead of you. Sometimes, it’s that coach who takes five minutes to explain a process. Or the player who reminds you you’re capable when you start doubting yourself. It’s those low-key moments of guidance, encouragement, and real talk that can shape your path more than any textbook ever could.
The best mentorships are built on trust, curiosity, and a genuine desire to grow — on both sides. Good mentors don’t give you all the answers; they help you ask better questions. And mentees? They bring fresh eyes, hunger, and new perspectives that can challenge even the most seasoned pros.
Whether you’re looking for a mentor or thinking about becoming one, remember: it doesn’t have to be complicated. Just show up, stay curious, and keep the conversation going. You never know where a little guidance might lead.
