1-2-1 Coaching

I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to cricket technique that yields positive results for everyone. All cricketers have strengths and weaknesses, differing physical characteristics and movement-patterns and different ideas about how to play the game. In short, everyone is an individual and they should be coached accordingly.

In most cases I will use video analysis to identify patterns in a player’s game and from there, work with them to produce an individual action plan to get them from where they are currently, to where they want to be. The aim always is to produce more confident and effective cricketers on the field - scoring more runs and taking more wickets for your team.

For those that thrive on receiving technical information, we can dive into the data offered by FULLTRACK AI, use it to guide areas of improvement and track progress. This, coupled with slo-mo video, can provide a level of detail, and reveal insights, that would be incredibly difficult to discern with the naked eye.

For those who prefer as little technical information as possible, we can, of course, approach things differently. For some, focus on the feel and rhythms of their game, or their mindset and confidence levels, will be the key to unlocking their potential. Working with these players to create practice scenarios that replicate as much of the real game environment as possible is something I enjoy just as much as the more technical elements of coaching. In the main I prefer to bowl (rather than use a side-arm etc) in 1-2-1 sessions as I feel it helps practice ‘transfer’ if we mimic game conditions as closely as possible.

It may be that most players will prefer a combination of these approaches. In the majority of cases it makes sense to utilise all the tools we have available to help us improve our game, but the approach will always be guided by the individual. Below are some testimonials from previous/current clients.
