Case study update: Ask the case study subjects a question

This article is part of the miCricketCoach 2009 Case Study. To stay up to date with their progress get the free newsletter.

If you have been following the miCricketCoach Case Studies closely you probably have some questions.

After all, the whole idea of these in depth case studies has been to show you how real players can apply the methods we talk about on the site. I'm sure you have been able to draw from their experiences. But now I want to open the floor to you totally.

What would you like to know about Naz and Geraint's experiences so far?

Perhaps you are sceptical about some aspect, maybe you want a little more detail on how they have prepared. Perhaps you want to know how they feel about the changes they have made.

Whatever it is, our volunteers are open to your questions, so send us an email and we will answer your question in the next update.

But before that, let's find out what the subjects have been up to this week.

Since the last update, Naz has played his final 2 preseason games for his club. Both games resulted in easy wins. However he still learned several things about how his preparation is being translated to the field:

  • If you get out early you can still make improvements. Naz had a net with a former Somerset player who helped him with his run up.
  • There is always something to improve: Naz needs to get more power and distance into his throws.

The big improvement for Naz this week is his ability to take the positive out all situations while dealing properly with the negatives. For example, in one game he was out early but instead of sulking he took the opportunity to make some technical adjustments in the nets.

Meanwhile Geraint has had a dream start to his league, as he wrote in his log, he bowled well on a good batting wicket then took the responsibility for finishing the game by being not out at the end. This is important as keeping his concentration up during his innings was a goal for him at the start of this process.

He could not have done more to impress himself on the selectors of his club 1st XI. If you are reading this selectors, get him in the side!
