We're looking for new mentors as we expand the London Academy Mentoring Programme beyond the team. You will mentor riders who we have as identified that would benefit from a mentor during their racing journey.
Becoming a London Academy mentor is an important part of our mission to get More Women Racing Bikes. We know that there is already so much knowledge in the sport that can help those coming to racing at different stages of their life. Not only will you be able to support a rider, but we hope it will impact your personal growth and enhance your experience of the sport.
Applications are open to all women, all trans and all non binary people.
Application Process:
- Apply by filling in this form by Sunday 1st June
- If selected, you will need to attend a kick off meeting at the start of July. This will take place online, on a Sunday or Monday evening
- Mentor pairings will be matched towards the end of July
- Your mentor pairing will start in July 2025 and continue into the 2026 season. There will be a chance to re-pair at the end of 2025 should that be appropriate
Requirements:
- An understanding of bike racing in the UK
- Self-awareness, the ability to understand and be aware of your own thoughts, emotions, and values, and how they affect your behaviour
- Ability to listen to and question a rider, coaching them through situations rather than telling
- Ability to manage the relationship in a professional manner
- Willingness to learn. This mentoring programme is growing and learning as it goes too, as are our mentors and mentees
Not all applications may be successful straight away, however there may be further opportunities to be matched with a mentee at later dates during the season
Please fill in this form as honestly as you can, it will help me match you with your mentee.
If you have any questions, or are curious about mentoring please email hello@londoncyclingacademy.com or drop us a message on instagram @ldn_academy - we are more than happy to chat!
