Both coaches had Louise Bawden, beach volleyball Olympian and FIVB Athletes\u2019 Commission member, as their sport specific mentor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an interesting programme because by exchanging ideas with coaches from other sports, it becomes clear that women face similar challenges. This has made me stronger and even more confident in myself.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve learnt a lot from my mentors, especially in terms of having a flexible mindset, thinking broadly when faced with challenges and the importance of collaboration in the decision-making process,\u201d said the former Kenya national team player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has also helped me in networking and making new friends.
