Meet The Founder.
Hi, I’m Conor Manderson, Founder of Reset Minds Mentoring.
Alongside founding Reset Minds Mentoring, I bring experience as a former professional footballer and international player, a UEFA B Licensed Coach and UEFA B Licensed Goalkeeping Coach, coaching within a Premier League academy, and working across alternative provision, residential care, and mainstream schools.
Working in elite football as both a player and coach has given me a deep understanding of how mindset, confidence, discipline, resilience, and the right support can shape a young person’s future.
Growing up wasn’t always easy for me. Like many young people, I faced challenges, uncertainty, and moments where making the right choices was difficult. What changed my path was having people around me who believed in me, guided me, supported me, and helped me see a different future.
Through support from family, mentors, positive role models, and education, I was able to develop discipline, grow in confidence, and build a successful career in football and
coaching.
Now, my goal is to give that same support back to the next generation.
At Reset Minds Mentoring, the focus is simple:
To support, guide, and empower young people to become the best version of themselves.

My Approach
Every young person is different.
There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to mentorship and development.
At Reset Minds Mentoring, we focus on building trust, relationships, consistency, and honest communication. We aim to create an environment where young people feel:
• Safe
• Respected
• Motivated
• Understood
• Challenged positively
• Supported to grow
We believe progress starts with connection.
