Use This Simple Method To Improve Every Practice
Iain Brunnschweiler knows his stuff. He is England Development Programme Coach and runs Inspired Cricket. What coach or player wouldn't want to pick his brains?
That's exactly what PitchVision Academy did recently. In frustration at seeing net sessions wasted, I turned to Brunchy for some advice, and his answer was so simple it shocked me.
OUT NOW: Exclusive Online Coaching with Graham Gooch
From today, Runmaker, the cricket coaches guide to developing high-class batsmen and runmakers from Graham Gooch , is available exclusively on PitchVision Academy.
The man with over 67,000 professional runs has - for almost 30 years - coached batsmen for both Essex and England to emulate his technical knowledge, powers of concentration and incredible work-ethic. Now, through his streaming video course, he will show you how to develop the next generation built for scoring reliable, "daddy" innings in all situations.
To do this, Gooch has developed a system of player development that brings out the best technical skill, attitude and concentration in each individual. If you coach batsmen at any level, the Runmaker system shows you how to get the best from them no matter what their personality and individual skill.
All the streaming videos are split into chapters to make it totally relevant to your needs, and the accompanying eBook lets you take the advice anywhere:
- Batting drills used by Gooch
- The technical "non-negotiables" of batting
- Ways to deal with talented but difficult players
- A systematic coaching method that covers the four most important aspects of coaching runmakers
- Ways to coach a better work ethic into batters
The course was filmed at the Essex County Ground, with detailed streaming video demonstrations of techniques and drills alongside an insightful interview that taps deeply into Gooch's thinking as a coach.
Unlike a traditional coaching manual or DVD, you can interact with others on the course, take on the advice and video tips and apply them immediately. The eBook can be downloaded and read anywhere, any time.
It's a coaching masterclass.

"The Australian season is now over for most, and we're moving into the off season. When training alone you can do plenty of fitness work or bowling, but what options do we have to work on our batting at this time of year?"

Quick Tip: How To Deal With Criticism

Nobody likes criticism. We are wired to treat negative feedback as a threat. We get defensive and often dont listen to the answer, even if the critique is correct and useful.
So, how do you better take criticism and use it to move forward?
What Can This Depressed Changing Room Story Tell You?
Here's a story that might make you think.
Not long ago I was playing in an away match in a team with a lot of younger players. Unusually, I was late and arrived close to the start time. We had already tossed and were about 10 minutes from going into the field.
Nobody had warmed up.
Not a gentle throw on the outfield. Not a few half-hearted slip catches. Nothing.
How To Bowl A Yorker
Yorkers are game changing balls.
Any bowler. On any pitch. At any time. You turn an innings around with the use of a good yorker or two. Ian Pont thinks they are so important that mastering one gives you a blank cheque for the IPL. But it's not just at the end of a Twenty20 game where they are destructive.
A yorker is a difficult ball to negotiate, even for well set batsman. You can bring it any time you want to upset the guy at the other end. You can use it to break a big partnership in longer games just as effectively as you can keep runs down at the death.
So if they are so useful, why don't we see them used more often?
