Whilst at training this week, players were asking about the challenges of using many coaches, some parents are very keen for their daughters to peak early, i.e. play first grade in Sydney asap, pressure to make CNSW teams... As we work together to support the growth and development of our young cricketers, I wanted to address an important consideration regarding the use of multiple coaches.

While it’s natural to seek the best possible guidance for your child, having too many coaches can sometimes present challenges.

Different coaches may have varying philosophies and techniques. This can sometimes lead to conflicting advice, which might confuse young players rather than help them develop a clear and consistent approach.

It’s essential for young cricketers to develop their own style and instincts. While learning from various coaches can be beneficial, too much input can hinder the natural development of their unique skills.

A coach’s role goes beyond teaching skills, it’s also about mentorship and building a trusting relationship. Focusing on one or two coaches allows for a deeper connection, enabling the coach to understand your child’s strengths, areas for improvement, and personality better.

Below is State and International players, as coaches we encourage a balanced approach.

A couple of weeks ago marked a significant milestone for Cricket Mentoring as we stepped onto the field for our first ever competitive matches.

In early May, I got a message from the father of a boy from Sydney who had been affected by a fraudulent cricket tour operator. The father was desperate to get some cricket for the boys whose upcoming tournament had been cancelled leaving them devastated.

7 weeks and a lot of work later, we were competing in Northern Territory Cricket's Junior Strike League tournament in Darwin.

The school holidays are nearly here. Book your place at my upcoming cricket coaching clinics.

Learn new skills. Improve your gameplay. Hang out with other cricket players.
The off season is a great time for cricket players to work on their game technique, correct errors and build on strengths without the pressure of competition.

During the upcoming July school holidays, I will be running off season cricket coaching clinics at Killara Park and North Sydney (scroll down for dates).

These coaching clinics provide young players with the expert guidance required to develop their skills, technique and game awareness, in a friendly and inclusive environment.

Myself and my expert coaches will help players hone their skills, leading to improved muscle memory, by repeating correct movements over and over, so they become automatic.

Clinics are tailored to the experience levels of each player and are open to boys and girls aged 6 - 17 years. Come for just one day, a few days or attend every clinic - the choice is yours.

If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to contact me directly on 0401 382 409 or geoff@cricketcoachingclinics.com.au.

I hope to see you there,
Geoff Spotswood
Level 3 Coach (Cricket Australia)

Not quite the World Cup, but this is where it all begins in India 🇮🇳. Today at Siri Fort, Delhi, fifty junior cricketers are practicing in 47-degree heat, aiming to represent India and play in the IPL one day. They know that past players from the Madan Lal Cricket Academy, like Simarjeet Singh, are now playing IPL and first-class cricket.

In Australia, junior cricketers wouldn't be training in such severe heat, but the reality is these boys will soon be playing matches in similar conditions. Adapting to all weather conditions is essential for Indian and Australian coaches wishing to work in the subcontinent. The extreme heat may not be comfortable, but it's part of the journey for these aspiring cricketers and coaches. 🏏☀️

Simon Palmer takes the reins of 2nd Grade after picking up the role mid-season last season. Simon brings a wealth of experience having been a top performer mainly in our 2nd Grade team over the last 15 years where he is on the verge of becoming our leading 2nd Grade run-scorer in with a strong season this year.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements before the week is out!!

Emotions can have a significant impact on performance in cricket. When players experience intense emotions such as anxiety, fear, or anger, it can affect their focus, decision-making abilities, and physical performance, all of which can impact their overall performance on the field. Here are some ways emotions can impact performance in cricket:

· Focus: Emotions can impact a player's ability to focus on the game. When players are anxious or angry, for example, their attention can be diverted from the game, making them less able to focus on the task at hand.

Further evidence to great coaches creating a legacy was in one of Rod Marsh’s finest students Ricky Ponting. I grew up playing against Ricky and he was, without doubt, a prodigy, head and shoulders above the next best of his age. Ricky had always been very generous with his time when we have crossed paths and often popped his head in when I was Head Coach of NSW to make observations of some of our young players.

I had two encounters with Ricky that have made me realise he could become a truly great coach and take coaching in Australia to another level.
