Q: Couple of questions to you around Game-day Mindset.  1) I felt like I was in a Negative frame of mindset last Game. Maybe, I lacked the motivation compared to the other games I played this season! Any tips/advice around how to change the story (narrative) in my mind to be more positive? or any other advice in general around, how to...

Hey Legends!Welcome to Monday Mentoring!Every Monday we will be sharing a question from our Cricket Mentoring Community with you.   This week: Question: How do you decide if a trigger movement is the right thing for you or not? On somedays I seem to be playing well when I move back and across but on others I play better just staying still until the ball is released.

Hey Legends!Welcome to Monday Mentoring!Every Monday we will be sharing a question from our Cricket Mentoring Community with you.   This week: 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...

Bhavi Devchand is currently contracted with Victoria and is training and rubbing shoulders on a daily basis with some of the world’s best cricketers including Elysse Perry and Australian captain Meg Lanning. While she’s living her dream, it certainly has been an easy run and she’s had her fair share of setbacks and...

I now know what makes Steve Smith, Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson so special. They understand themselves and know what they need to do in order to prepare themselves in all 6 pillars, so that they have the best chance of succeeding, every time they step onto the field. For me, it wasn’t a lack of skill. It was a lack of understanding. It was a fluke if everything aligned both internally and externally, and hence why I was inconsistent.   Through my personal experience and leanings, I now...

We pick up this part of the conversation with Jake discussing his game in great detail and how he has been developing it. I hope you...

G’day legends. Welcome back or welcome to the Cricket Mentoring podcast.

Nicole Bolton has without doubt been Western Australia’s finest female cricketer in the past decade but as you’ll hear in this episode it’s been a roller-coaster ride for her that’s included the highs of scoring a century on international debut while the lows have forced her to take multiple breaks from the game at different stages of her career. She has openly spoken in the past about the mental health issues she’s had to deal with and overcome and she was incredibly honest about her...

Today’s guest has developed into one of the most exciting T20 batters in the country with his performances for the Melbourne Renegades in the past two Big Bash tournaments. Sam Harper is the Victorian and Melbourne Renegades wicket-keeper batsman and we caught up during my time in Melbourne recently to discuss his journey from the backyard with his dad and brother to playing professionally. Harper was a big reason the Renegades won the Big Bash in 2019 with his dynamic batting at the top of...

In this episode, we spoke about how he managed his game between Australia and the UK and the different challenges that he faced. Having transitioned from playing to professional coaching last year, it was fascinating to hear how Klinger now views the game as a coach and what he looks for technically in batters as a result of what he found out about his own game late in his career.

Kate Cross is an international cricketer currently in Australia as part of the England squad for the world cup. You’ll hear throughout this episode how open and honest she was about her life and career in cricket. While she’s had a career to be proud of, she’s also had her fair share of challenges and hardships which culminated in her being too scared to see her teammates during a training camp. It led to her stepping away from the game for a break and to work through her mental health...
