Re: Mentor Help
I would highly suggest talking to the coach(es) of the team that you are mentoring to find out what he expects from the mentors.
All of the advice given so far has been good, however not all teams operate in the same manner. Some teams have mentors that take a larger hands on role than others. Some teams prefer that the mentors serve primarily as resources and let the students do all the work. The only way to find out the best way to be a mentor is to consult with the coach and discuss what is expected. If you don't, you may find some animosity building due to a conflict between both your expectations and those of the teams.
I know that at least one of the two teams that I work with will be having a short meeting with all mentors on Kickoff Day to explain what role we (the coaches and team) expect them to play throughout the season.
Hope this helps,
