Hi Mark,
I am currently the keeper for the Georges River 1st Grade side, I am looking to work a bit more on my glovework, and I was hoping you could help. Can you advise me what the costs are please, and what days and times are available?
Cheers
Hi Jim
Thanks for your comment. It would be great to have the opportunity to work with you on a wicketkeeping program.
It sounds like a program of High Performance Individual Coaching sessions may be the best way to approach the situation given the level you are playing at. We are available every day of the week and I will get in touch with you by email with more details.
Catch up soon.
Cheers.

hi mark
im a spin bowler, prodominantly orthodox, i also bowl a doosra, a leggy, a straight ball and a range of other slightly different deliveries. my coaches and other elders of my club suggest that its best that i stick to one thing only and not worry about all the others.. is there anything you can suggest that may help??
Hi Charlie
My view is that to maximise your effectiveness as a bowler you need to develop mastery over your stock ball. Your stock ball should be your best ball and the one you look to bowl at least 90% of the time. Perhaps the reason your are getting the feedback you are getting is that your advisors recognise that you need to develop this mastery. That said there is no reason for you not to develop mastery over your variation – who know where that may lead. Getting really good batsmen out takes skill, consistency, patience and subtle as opposed to obvious variation and with this in mind I have posted a link below to an article I have written for you to review.
Good luck.
