How to Make the Most of Twenty20 Tournaments

Filed in:

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

David Hi

I can't get sound on this! I don't think it's my computer. Plus my lip reading are not up to scratch!

Regards,

Rob

Still no joy on You Tube. I went onto a music video and the sound was fine. Any chance of subtitles!!?

Thanks
