This week we have the pleasure of a conversation with Chris Pearce to share with you. Chris runs the Kriketová Akademie in Czechia, and provides a truly fascinating insight into the challenges of energising a minority sport in a country where cricket goes largely unseen. Chris’ energy and passion are evident throughout, as he provides a masterclass in how to both cajole and inspire, whilst also reassuring parents that no horses are required! You won’t want to miss this. Enjoy the show!   Notes on podcast series:   The Community Cricket Podcast is brought to you by Twenty 20 Community Cricket Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation aiming to support and promote cricket in state schools, to develop young cricketers of all ages & backgrounds and to develop associate cricket nations at all levels. The podcast is presented by Tim Ferrone and Darren Talbot. Darren brings an enormous wealth of cricket coaching and development experience, and Tim reckons he spends more time coaching than he does his ‘proper’ job. Both love the sport of cricket and are tremendously passionate advocates of its capacity to benefit all who partake in it. The Community Cricket Podcast is produced by Wrapped Up Music.   Connect with us: If you have a comment or club cricket question you’d like us to address, then just drop us a line at: [email protected] Find out more here: https://www.twenty20cricketcompany.com   Connect with the Kriketová Academy: https://www.instagram.com/kriketovaakademie https://www.facebook.com/KriketovaAkademie/ https://twitter.com/akademiekriketu   Sponsors: Check out Saitama at www.saitamatoken.com or https://linktr.ee/WeAreSaitama   Advertisers: Enter CCP10 at checkout for a 10% discount with AJ Sports: https://www.AJsports.co.uk     Check out PLAI Sport at https://www.twenty20cricketcompany.com/plai
