Manage episode 429657952 series 2939456
In today’s episode, I chat with Tom Jones, the founder of Cricket Coach 365 and the University of Manchester Men’s Cricket First Team Coach. Tom goes on to ask me many questions about mental toughness, the role of the environment, how we can help cricketers play to the best of their ability more often and a whole lot more. By listening to this episode you’ll learn more about how I work as a Sports Psychologist, and my thoughts on how cricket coaches can better support their players.
Key Learning Points:
- As a coaches seek to understand your players have environmental preferences that help or hinder their focus and concentration.
- Music can be a positive warm up tool for some cricketers however individual needs should be respected.
- Coaches should tread with caution when you mention the words “YOU MUST WORK HARD.”
- All players are coachable despite what many people assume.
- Playing and coaching cricket is awash with changing emotions that can have a huge influence on decision making.
