Difference Between A Role Model And A Mentor. by Nobody: 10:45pm On May 10, 2015
Many a time, we co-use the word mentor and role model without really seeing the difference...Below is a solid difference between these two words.

A role model is someone that inspires you, someone that
you admire for their actions, their beliefs, their
achievements. It does not necessarily mean that you must
know this person. For example, you can have the Delia
Lama, a famous entrepreneur, whoever, as a role model.

A mentor is someone that guides you with advice, gives
their opinion on situations. It's more of a personal
relationship and you must have contact with this person
and this person is usually older than you. It can be a older
cousin, a grandpa/grandma, your senior at school, or
(your case) a coach.

Nice one, OP.
However, it doesn't necessarily follow 'always' that a mentor has to be older.
You can still be mentored by a younger person. It's a question of personal capacity.
Blessings.
