239 How To Overcome Batting Woes In Cricket #BITESIZE
Manage episode 419983614 series 2939456
Cricket is a unique sport where despite being a team sport it can also be argued to be an individual sport. One of the biggest challenges is batting and dealing with the aftermath of low scores and the walk of shame. In this BITE-SIZED episode, Tom Jones, a highly qualified youth cricket coach and owner of Cricket Coach 365 and I discuss mental toughness when batting and offer you advice on how to deal with the pressures that you will likely face.
Key Learning Points:
- As a batter the walk to and from the wicket can be difficult for youngsters especially when they haven’t performed well.
- The ability to come to recognise that you will fail more than you will succeed can help you.
- When batting understanding what is within your control and what is outside of your control is useful.
- The closest parallel to batting when you get out, is missing a penalty in football, in a penalty shootout.
- Catastrophizing as a batter when you perform poorly is very easy – why not ask yourself the question how can I have a positive influence on the rest of the game?
