Cricket Season Is Here!
Cricket has been well and truly out of the news and many will be surprised by how quickly the season has come around. But it’s here! For many of you club games will start mid-September and trials for Grade, Shires, Representative, Green Shield and School cricket are under way.
To ensure that you blow away the winter cobwebs I recommend you put in some quality practice over the school holidays. This can be done with mates, with your team or at one of our School Holiday Programs (details below).
You may also find it useful to review some of the Masterclass articles on the Elite Cricket website and here are my top 4 recommended articles for starting the season although there are many others you may also like to read:
- Masterclass: Planning For The Season
- Masterclass: Planning Your Performance To Succeed
- Masterclass: Train How You Play
- Masterclass: Mental Toughness
I also recommend that you do a cricket stocktake of yourself.
- Are you ready for competition?
- How’s your fitness? What areas need attention?
- What are your goals for the season? (Write them down somewhere)
- What actions do you need to take to reach your goals? (technical, tactical and game play)
- Have you got a plan to succeed?
- How’s your equipment - get it out, try it on, partcularly protective gear - does it still fit properly?
