Daily reminder, just in case you need it 👀
Trust yourself. You can do this.
It’s still early in the year and progress doesn’t have a deadline. Some days click, some days don’t, but the key is to keep going until things start going your way. Stay consistent, stay patient, and keep putting the work in even when results feel quiet.
At Amsterdam Cricket Academy, we’re all about backing the process. Small steps, steady effort, and belief in yourself add up to big improvements over time 🏏💪

Failure isn’t the end of the story, it’s the training session you didn’t know you needed 🏏
As Women’s World Cup winner Smriti Mandhana said: “Failure teaches you a lot more than success.” 📈
Every mistake we make is a lesson waiting to teach us a new lesson. Growth comes from showing up again, reflecting on the challenges and putting the work in to be better than we were yesterday.
At Amsterdam Cricket Academy, we believe the real progress is built in those moments. Learn from it. Train through it. Let it shape you into a stronger, smarter cricketer.
Because improvement isn’t about avoiding failure, it’s about using it to achieve something even bigger and better💪🔥
Challenges aren’t there to stop you, they’re there to level you up! 🏏✅
Miss a few, bowl a no-ball, drop a catch… good! That’s where the work - and the learning - starts. 🤓
Batting, bowling, fielding: it all gets better when you lean into the tough bits and keep turning up🚀
At Amsterdam Cricket Academy, we embrace the challenge and let hard work do the transforming. 💪🔥

Greetings to the Dutch cricket community, the business community in the Netherlands and Dutch society more broadly – we are the Amsterdam Cricket Academy.
A brand-new initiative, ACA is focused on growing and developing cricket in the Netherlands. Our goal is to ensure a grassroots system is in place that grows the game from the ground up and allows kids to get a taste of cricket from a young age. In support of this, we will partner with other academies, regional clubs and the KNCB to establish coaching structures and pathways.
ACA’s success will be measured not only in terms of the sport’s growth in the Netherlands, but also social impact. We understand the value of community building, as well as the health benefits of mobilising our youth – and we believe cricket can be a positive contributor to each of these causes.
ACA was founded by Taku Kusano and Richard Wolfe. Taku is a Level 3 cricket coach with international experience. Richard is a technology entrepreneur who is actively involved in youth cricket in the Netherlands. We are also in the final stages of bringing on board a third founder, soon to be announced.
