In Part 2 of this incredibly insightful conversation with Western Australia off-spinner Corey Rocchiccioli, we covered the Mental, Emotional, Physical and Lifestyle pillars.

Question: When I'm training to play short balls (with someone chucking them down from the other end), I generally play them quite well. But when I face short balls in the nets, I tend to hesitate and move away. I'm guessing that's because I prepare myself for a short one during throwdowns, but they're a lot more unpredictable in the nets. What's a good way to solve this challenge?
