Cricket Mentoring

COACHING IN GERMANY 🇩🇪
Another great session in Bavaria, Germany with a group of skilled and really keen 7-10 year olds ✅

During the 2.5 hour session we focused on fundamentals:
* Batting
* Power hitting
* Bowling
* Fielding
* Mindset

MENTAL SKILLS 🧠
We believe there are 2 aspects to MINDSET:

1. Mental Framework - your day to day thinking
2. Match Mindset - what you think when you’re competing

Comment MINDSET to find out how you can train your mind for cricket.

MINDSET 🧠
In a study of the world’s best tennis players, they found the only thing that separated the top 5 in the world from the top 25, was their mindset.

Specifically what they thought and how they spoke to themselves in the moments after a point.

Every cricketer trains their physical skills, but so few invest time, energy & money into training their mind and emotions, despite it being the ‘thing’ that allows an athlete to perform at their best in a ‘big’ moment (when there’s pressure) and holds people back from bringing their best when it counts.

If you’re a serious and committed cricketer and want to train in your mind, comment MINDSET and we’ll send you information on our Mindset Mastery Online Course.

We’ve packed 20 years of playing, coaching and mentoring at an elite level into 2 hours of video lessons to help cricketers understand their thoughts and emotions better so they can perform at their best more consistently 🔥

JAKE WEATHERALD 💯
CM Athlete has been on fire in the for after securing a last minute call up.

Weathers has made 31, 83, 96 & 104* in his 4 innings at the top of the order for Leicestershire to have 314 runs at an average of 104.66 and SR of 83.06.

Here’s a few highlights from last years India Training Camp for Pros that Weathers was a part of 🇮🇳

DEVDUTT PADIKKAL T20 TRAINING 💣
Flashback to September 2023 where RCB number 3, was doing some power hitting practice with tennis balls.

We’ve met Dev a number of times at where he’s been a student since he was a young lad 🔝

BATTING TECHNIQUE - 4TH STUMP GOES LEGSIDE OF BOWLERS STUMPS 🤔🤯

A couple of days ago we shared a video of our mentor Amish coaching a player a concept that balls on 4th stump should go to the legside of the bowlers stumps. It seemed to upset quite a few people so here’s a video that hopefully explains it a bit better and uses examples of the world’s best…

A few important things to note that we believe (and not everyone will understand this or agree - we are always open to another point of view):

* This concept relates to red ball cricket. It doesn’t apply as much to shorter formats and especially not T20 cricket where batters are often wanting to stay legside of the ball

* The most important thing in batting is bat path. The bat is the thing that hits the ball.

* The most efficient way to move from point A to point B is a straight line. So we should always be trying to get our bat through in a straight line to the ball (specifically the hitting zone)

* We believe the best batters all ‘cross over’ their feet as explained in the video… but they still get their head and weight going down the wicket. If your head falls across, you’re cooked!

* Batting is a side on game and ‘crossing your feet over’ allows you to stay side on and get the bat through in a straight line

* The best players always present the full face of the bat. That doesn’t mean they always play straight - there’s a difference between ‘playing straight’ and playing with a full face.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment on our recent post. I hope this explains this concept in more depth and welcome any further comments or discussion 👊🏻
