As part of our Twenty20 series to line up with the ICC World Twenty20, we take a video look at how to make the most of a T20 tournament as a young player.

In this video, I catch up with Gary Palmer as he coaches his Under 14 Academy players at a week-long tournament with up to 2 games a day.

This tournament happened in England, but the lessons learned are just as relevant for coaches and players all over the world, especially in India.

In the interview we discuss:

• How tournament compare to season
• How to handle playing in a squad rotation system
• Goal setting and self-confidence in T20 tournaments
• What to do as a parent, or a coach handling parents
• How to use your underdog status to build confidence
• Specific T20 hitting practice between games
• Running between the wickets drills
• The best attitude for tournament play to impress the coach
