What is this all about?

"We're about making a difference in careers and community"

* This is about establishing a Leadership network that provides support for every BHS player to "make a difference"; to make a successful transition from School to Career and Community contribution.

* It is about launching the player to be "better than the best they think they can be" by having a network of "life teammates".

* It is about having "safe", private conversations that matter to the player (it is about them and their particular path).

How is it going to work?

* Every BHS Football player, beginning with the seniors, will be matched up with 2 Mentors: One will be a recent grad and the other will be an established career professional from the Bellevue community.

* The Mentors will have conversations about what it means to the player to be:
A winner on the Field; a winner in the Classroom; and a winner in Life - particularly as it regards to career and community leadership.

* To get started, there will be at least 1 conversation between the recent grad and 1 conversation between the player and the career professional. After those we will "huddle up" and decide where to focus our efforts.

Who is expected to do what?
* The recent grad Mentors will first call Danny Razore (425-444-7677) or Jeff Razore (425 591-6878) to learn some specifics about the player they have been matched up with.

* They will then initiate the conversations/meeting (most probably meet at the school and then take a "walk-n-talk", or Starbucks, or something simple). 30-45 minutes ought to cover the initial conversations. Plan to have the conversations by mid-August if possible

* After the meeting, they will send an e-mail to Mick and Bill with some recommendations on who might be a good 2nd Mentor for their particular player. (If someone obvious comes to mind, please recruit them).
