BEFORE & AFTER 🏏
What differences do you notice? 🤔

Great to do another coaching with Essex Under 16 top order batter

I first met Shaurya at in Bangalore 🇮🇳 in April last year and have been mentoring him online since.

It was great to get back in person for a session at and to focus on some technical adjustments.

JAFAR CHOHAN 🔥
It was awesome to spend some time with T20 gun Jafer during training earlier this week.

It was noticeable from the first few minutes how much he loves the art of leg spin.

Not only is Jafar a world-class bowler, but he’s also incredibly down to earth and generous with his time, going out of his way to help younger spinners improve their craft.

The best players often have an insatiable curiosity about their game.

They’re students of it.

Always learning.
Always experimenting.
Always looking for ways to get better.

Jafar’s passion for spin bowling was impossible to miss, and it’s no surprise to see him achieving success at the highest level of the game.

A great reminder that talent might open the door, but genuine love for what you do is often what keeps pushing you forward.

PROFESSIONAL CRICKETER 🔥
Awesome to do a coaching session with South African professional cricketer 🇿🇦

Grant has played 68 First Class Matches and has scored 3,898 runs at an average of 40.60 with 11 💯 and is currently playing for 🇿🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Although he’s already an excellent player, he came for a session to get a different perspective and see if he could get something that would give him another 1-2% which could help take his game to the next level.

The best players are always looking for ways to get better while still staying true to their game and what works best for them.

What do you think he does well?

A HUMAN WHO PLAYS CRICKET 🧠
We spend all of our life as human beings.

We only spend part of it as cricketers.

But for so many young players, their whole identity becomes wrapped up in their cricket.

Runs = I’m good enough.
Wickets = I’m valuable.
Selection = I’m on track.
Failure = I’m not good enough.

But the truth is…

It’s the human being who shows up to be the cricketer.

And if you don’t understand yourself…your thoughts, your emotions, your fears, your energy, what fires you up, what calms you down, what helps you perform, it becomes really hard to consistently be your best.

Some players need to feel relaxed.
Some need to feel fired up.
Some need to feel calm.
Some need a little edge.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

The key is learning what your best state looks like.

Because becoming the best cricketer you can be isn’t just about technique, training harder or hitting more balls.

It’s about understanding the human underneath the helmet.

That’s what we dive into in our 6 Pillars of Success Presentation - helping young cricketers understand themselves better so they can show up, compete and perform with more freedom.

Because when you understand the human, you give the cricketer a better chance to thrive.

COUNTY PATHWAY ‼️
COUNTY PATHWAY CRICKETERS ‼️
Too many young cricketers are falling out of love with the game way too young!

For a lot of kids, making the U13 county side feels like the be-all and end-all.

They get selected.
They get the kit.
They feel proud.
They feel special.

And that’s brilliant.

But then, very quickly, every session can start to feel like a trial.

“I’ve got to:
Stay in the team
Impress the coach
Get higher up the order
I can’t make mistakes.”

And when a young player feels like they’re constantly being judged, how are they supposed to relax, express themselves and actually enjoy the game?

This is one of the reasons we love taking groups to India 🇮🇳

From day one, we make it really clear:

“No one is judging you here. You’re not getting selected. You’re not getting dropped. You’re not trying to impress anyone. In fact, we want to see mistakes. We want to see players trying things, exploring their game and learning without fear.

And honestly, you can see their eyes light up.

Because so many young players are used to batting in a straightjacket. They’re tense. They’re anxious. They’re trying to survive, rather than exploring and having fun.

So I’m not surprised when players get to 15, 16 or 17 and say, “I don’t want to do this anymore.”

Not because they didn’t love cricket.

But because they weren’t able to manage the thoughts and feelings when they were wearing their county colours.

Structure is important.
Standards are important.
Pathways can be amazing.
But not if you don’t enjoy the journey and end up hating the game as a result of it.

How do we fix this?

Teach players the mental skills needed when they are doing something they really care about.

Remind players and coaches that it’s a game and no one is living or dying by how well they train or play that day.

And remind them to have fun.

The goal shouldn’t just be to get selected at 13.

The goal should be to be the best you can be, in the long-term and enjoy your cricket!

LITTLE THINGS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
“Everyone is capable of anything. It’s just unlocking the right few cues. You’ve always been capable of it.”

Last week came for a coaching session and wanted to learn how to play the cut shot.

After giving him an understanding of the movement (technique) and a few cues to focus on, he was nailing his cut shots by the end of the hour session 🔥

PRESSURE DOESN’T EXIST 🧠
Pressure isn’t real.

The physical feelings are real…

The butterflies.
The sweaty palms.
The heavy legs.
The racing heart.

But the thing we call “pressure”?

That’s something we create in our mind.

At our 6 Pillars of Success Presentation, I spoke about one of the biggest separators between young athletes who “make it” and those who don’t:

Their ability to consistently execute their skills in the moments that matter (under “pressure”).

Because at higher levels, everyone is skilled.

The difference is often who can stay clear, calm and committed when the game feels big.

Pressure doesn’t sit at first slip.
It doesn’t talk to you.
It isn’t standing next to you.

It’s a feeling we interpret.

And when players learn to understand that, they can start responding to those big moments differently.

That’s what the mental and emotional side of cricket is all about.

Helping athletes perform at their best more often when it really counts.

6 PILLARS OF SUCCESS ✅
It was great to do the first of our 25 6 Pillars of Success Presentations during our UK Tour at last night.

Success in cricket is about more than talent and technique.

Of course, technical skill matters. But if a cricketer wants to keep improving, perform under pressure and reach their potential, they need to develop every part of themselves.

That’s why we created Cricket Mentoring’s 6 Pillars of Success Framework:

Technical
Tactical
Mental
Emotional
Physical
Lifestyle

These are the key areas we believe every athlete must continue working on if they want to perform closer to their best more often.

During the presentation, I share stories, lessons and practical tools from my own playing journey, as well as from years of coaching and mentoring cricketers around the world — from ambitious juniors through to international players.

The goal is to help players and parents walk away with more clarity around what it actually takes to improve, handle the ups and downs of the game, and enjoy the journey along the way.

Thanks to everyone who came along last night and contributed to such a brilliant evening.

I’ll be delivering more of these presentations while I’m in the UK over the coming weeks.

If you’re a player, parent, coach or club who wants to better understand what it takes to develop as a cricketer on and off the field, I’d love to see you at one of the upcoming sessions.
