How to be as fearless as a 5 year old

Filed in:
• Cricket
• Psychology
Tweet
Have you noticed the way kids involve themselves totally in the moment?
Fear of failure, injury or any other consequence is nowhere to be seen.
It's something a lot of cricketers can learn from. Being able to get into the moment or the zone
is a skill even the top professionals have trouble achieving. Yet to a five year old it's the most
natural thing in the world.
You might suffer from this if you have ever:

• Thought what other might think of your cricket performances
• Worried about getting injured
• Wanted to avoid being embarrassed by the opposition
Children don't let these factors get to them, which is why they can stay in the moment when
you can't. How do you emulate this?
• Learn to focus on things you can control

• Be able to replace thoughts of negative consequences with positive images
• Know your own abilities and play to them
• Be happy with playing ugly
• Learn how to relax, even when under pressure
Re-learning how to be a kid is not a good idea in most cases, but for cricket's mental game it's a
perfect tool.
Want to gain bulletproof mental toughness to score runs and take wickets under pressure?
PitchVision Academy has a complete training course to build up your confidence,
concentration and skyrocket your success.

Stop Panicking About Your Accuracy, It's Totally Fine.

Filed in:
• Cricket
• Psychology
• Spin Bowling
Tweet
Recently we have had a spate of spinners on PitchVision

Academy worrying about their accuracy. From around the
world, the same messages come through, "I bowl too full", "I
bowl too many short balls", "I get taken off by the captain for
bowling down the leg side".
I'm sure if you are a spinner you recognise the anxiety in these
questions. You have no bouncer or snarl face. You need to be
accurate or you are dead meat. When you bowl a bad ball it knocks your confidence and you
bowl worse.
I'm here to tell you; don't panic.
It's going to be fine.
The myth of spin accuracy

Accuracy in spin is a myth. You don't need to give it another thought.
We have all heard stories of the great spinners. The ones who leave a dusty patch 10cm by
10cm on the pitch because they hit their target so often. We hear about the old guard spinners
putting down a hanky in nets and hitting it 6 times an over. We hear names like Bedi, Warne
and Muralitharan who took control for granted so much they barely thought about it as they
worked on dip, drift and spin.
All those guys were charlatans.
Yes, they were great bowlers who took many wickets with skill and accuracy. But they all
bowled bad balls. Not just the odd one here and there either. They all had terrible spells,
terrible series.
In fact, with modern analysis at Test level we know how often the best bowlers land a good line
and length. We know that, on average, about one ball an over is off target. At least. I'm willing
to bet the best players at your level are way less accurate than that.
Free yourself from accuracy

So if Warne couldn't do it, what chance have you got? You might say that makes the whole
enterprise pointless. You might as well take up fast bowling and have more weapons at your
disposal. But wait before you go over to the "dark side".
Without having to worry about accuracy you are free from it's tyranny.
Sure, you will bowl some bad balls. Hopefully not to many but who cares if you do? You might
get a catch on the boundary from a long hop or a full toss. In the meantime, you can focus on
giving it a rip so the ball fizzes through the air, drifts and dips in it's flight and grips on the
pitch turning square. Even a half volley is dangerous when it does that.
More importantly, because you are relaxed and "just bowling" you are more likely to bowl well
anyway. You are not tense. You are in the zone. You are playing with the batsman like a cat
plays with a mouse. It's just a matter of time and you are enjoying every moment without fear.
Need help unclenching?

You might think that is easier said than done. And I get it. Anxiety comes from a primal
"chimp" part of your brain that is not easy to tame with sense and logic.
So here is some help to mentally unclench: As you bowl in games and practice, make a note of
what you were thinking about during the ball you bowled badly. When you get the chance,
write it down somewhere. Do the same for the ball after a bad one. If it was back on the spot,
what did you think about? If it was another bad one, were you still in the same mind set or did
something change?
Over time you will spot a trend. Maybe it's that a negative thought pops in there. Maybe it's
something else. Track it and see, then you can fix it.
From here, set a target that is realistic. If you bowl 3 stinkers on average per over, look to drop
that average to 2 with some reflection. That's an improvement even if those 2 balls get tonked.
That's only 8 runs. You can still get 5 wickets and be a hero!
How do you feel about accuracy in spin bowling? Leave a comment and let me know.

I saw a video where the commentators were doing a presentation during tea, and they were
comparing Shane Warne's "Danger Area" with that of English off spinner Richard Dawson's.
Warnie's "Danger Area" was massive. From very full, to quite short, and quite wide as well.
The reason is that Warne puts more revs on the ball. He gets better drift, sharper dip and bigger
turn as a result, and therefore he is more dangerous over a greater portion of the pitch. Dawson
could only land it on a perfect length of about 30 square cm, or he'll get tonked. Bowling at a
hankie - waste of time. Spinning the ball as hard as you can - always.

Hi David,
Loved your knowledge and article .
I worked extremely hard for around 2 years to become too bowler in my club and more*
I am a leg spinner and can spin the ball a mile with lot of dip and drift in it.
Issue is how many balls per over I can ask the question about.
My good ball is unplayable and bad is too bad.
I have more accuracy in nets and almost none in the pressure situations and I am
Working on it this coming off season.
As usual I ball 2 bad balls an over and captain takes me off
I want to say thank you for the priceless knowledge that u have provided me .
Regard
Prabh

The Introvert's Guide to Thriving in Cricket

Filed in:
• Cricket
• Psychology
Tweet
Do you recognise this in yourself, Mr/Miss Introverted
Cricketer?
You want to be left alone to get on with your role. As a result

you tend to be slightly apart from the team. You're not
especially interested in the social side of the game, you prefer
the challenge set to you by trying to score runs or take wickets.
And as for contributing to the team overall tactics or culture,

you have deep and well-considered opinions that you keep
very quiet about. Team meetings are a chore and you avoid
them at all costs.
You thrive under your own steam.
This can come across - especially to the more socially minded players - as uptight, over-serious
or maybe even rude: Think the classic accusation that "he only plays for his average".
You know it's just the way you are wired. So here are some ways to keep the social secretary
happy whilst also contributing to the side as a team player and an individual.
Find your space

You play best alone, and get easily stressed in larger groups. That can a problem at a cricket
match with 21 other players alongside spectators, umpires, coaches and the rest. The solution is
to make some space for yourself that doesn't impact on others.
So, both before and after the match, put aside time for yourself. Read your book, go for a walk,
or do whatever it is that relaxes you. If you try to go straight from a high energy situation to the
game, you're going to have a hard time keeping your levels up. Equally, if you have something
quiet to look forward to after the match, you are more likely to burn all your "social" energy up
during the game.
You'll seem less aloof and more invloved in the team, even if you pass on the post-game party
into the night after a win.
Check in, don't meet

As you don't like to pipe up when the group is large, your voice tend not to be heard in the
team. However, you have opinions like everyone else. The way to get them across is one to
one; that means"checking in" with people for informal chats over bombastic pre-game team
talks or all-hands formal meetings.
Luckily in the game you have plenty of time to do this: Walk round the boundary with a couple
of people when the team is batting. Stand at slip and chat to the keeper. Get to the ground early
and speak with the coach before anyone else arrives.
You thrive in these moments and your thought-through gems are often gladly accepted by more
spontaneous types.
Become the team thinker

And that brings us to the last point. You can improve your team-man reputation, and your
team's performance by becoming the "go to" guy for thought out ideas and tactics.
Say the captain is an extrovert who loves flying by the seat of his pants. He may miss
something obvious that you see clearly, but you don't have the confidence to get the word out.
You can use the time between games to think your idea through, come up with compelling
evidence through analysis and quietly present the idea to him before play next week.
As Bill Gates once said:
"If you’re clever you can learn to get the benefits of being an introvert, which
might be, say, being willing to go off for a few days and think about a tough
problem, read everything you can, push yourself very hard to think out on the edge
of that area."
It won't take long for the coach and captain to see you as the go to guy for planning and
strategy ideas that are out of the box and based in common sense. In fact, your thoughtful,
mindful nature makes you an excellent leader with tactical skills and great one-to-one
interpersonal ability. You would be an excellent captain.
It's about playing to your strengths and understanding how your personality is just as important
as your technical ability. If you can do that you are a long way further down the road to
becoming an exceptional cricketer.

Are You Ready to Bat: How to Deal with Anxiety at the

Crease
Filed in:
• Batting
• Batting
• Coach Education
• Coaching
• Coaching to Win
• Cricket
• Psychology
Tweet
How many times have we walked back to the pavilion asking
"what on earth happened there?"
I know I have on numerous occasions.
As you read last week, England and Somerset batsman Nick

Compton popped in to run a Batting Masterclass at Millfield School.
Nick asked all of the players a great question: Are you ready to bat?
Nick spoke of the strategy that he runs before he bats.
He is someone who shuts himself off from the rest of the world to his thoughts ahead of facing
the first ball.
Nick told us how he visualises himself successfully facing the first ball, the first over and then
his 1st twenty balls. He views himself incorporating a 'world class defence', moving well,
leaving decisively and scoring off the balls that fall into his preferred scoring areas.
Nick manages his breathing during this 5 minute process as this helps him to control his
emotions, physiology and aids the visualisation process.
For England, Nick opens the batting and therefore, he always had 5 minutes to do this directly
ahead of his 1st ball.
However, Nick bats at number 3 for Somerset and runs through this process at the start of each
day and then a more concise version when the 1st wicket falls. In the shortened version, Nick
gets onto his haunches and collects his thoughts for 30 seconds ahead of striding out to the
wicket.
Is this a trick you can use?
Dealing with anxiety at the crease

Nick repeatedly mentioned that he has improved his ability to manage his emotions at the
crease over the past couple of seasons. This has resulted in Nick being able to bat for longer
and score more runs.
Emotions and anxiety come into play at all stages of an innings. Here are a few examples of
potential high anxiety points that can impact upon batting performance:
• Making a début
• Facing your first ball
• Approaching a milestone
• Refocusing after reaching a milestone (like Brendan McCullum on 302 against India at
Wellington).
• Chasing a target down.
• Batting with the tail.
• Batting to keep your place in the side during a poor period of performance.
So how can we deal with anxiety better?
Recently, I listened to a keynote speech by Jonathan Bockelmann-Evans at Millfield

Preparatory School. Jonathan is one of the UK's leading emotional health consultants.
Jonathan spoke and demonstrated a technique called 7/11 breathing.
This helps to alleviate anxiety and increases focus on the things that matter. How relevant is
that for batting?
Encourage your players not to breathe into the chest (as many normally do) but deep into
their tummy or diaphragm which is below the chest. The important thing here is that the out
breath must be longer that the in breath.
This process causes stimulation of the part of the nervous system responsible for relaxation.
This is a basic law of biology and if someone breathes in this way then their body will have no
choice but to relax.
If you can pass this lesson onto your players, then you might be giving them the most effective
piece of coaching advice ever.

People say whistling or singing a song to yourself in your head works as well as anything to
relax you.

Engage Autopilot: Coaching Stress Management in the

Cauldron of Battle
Filed in:
• Coaching
• Coaching to Win
• Cricket
• Psychology
Tweet
The 2013 ICC Champions Trophy Final gave us a perfect
insight into the impact that stress can have on performance and
ultimately, the outcome of key matches.
The Chimp Paradox is a brilliant book by Dr. Stephen Peters

(Team Sky Racing and Team GB Cycling Psychologist) which
includes a section on dealing with stress in a multitude of sporting and everyday life situations.
Stephen talks about dealing with, rather than reacting to stressful situations. He then takes the
reader through a series of steps which builds what he calls an autopilot.
With rehearsal and practice autopilots become innate responses to stressful situations. This, in
turn, increases our chances of success.
So here is a step by step guide to building your player's cricketing autopilot:
1. Recognising stress and change it

A player will often recognise that they he is reacting to stress when he takes an option that he
doesn't like, or when his body starts to tell him that things aren't operating at an optimal level.
Once we recognise and accept that stress is present we can change our attitude and mindset
towards it.
One thing you can coach for this situation is to use the word 'change' to trigger his mind
towards a more appropriate or viable option. Inevitably, this is one that has been practised more
often and has achieved better results in the past.
2. The pause button

Another method you can present is picturing a big pause button. Tell your players to "press it"
when they feel they are rushing decision making or pre-delivery routine.
This will allow time for more logical options to surface rather than emotion driving poor
options and reactive decision making.
3. Escape: stepping back from the situation

Obviously, in cricket matches, we don't have time to be able to walk off the field and reflect
overnight (unless you're playing first class) so an example of a stepping back mechanism in
cricket is this: When you are batting, walking away from the crease slightly, taking yourself out
of the stressful environment.
Collect your thoughts, slow yourself down and re-enter the crease when you are ready. Alec
Stewart did this brilliantly during his career and Ali Cook is also a master of this technique.
4. The helicopter view and getting perspective

I often talk about a birds eye view of the field when batters are picturing scoring options. Our
2D view at ground level can be limiting and cause stress in itself as we can't see the scoring
space clearly.
Having a helicopter or birds eye view opens up options as we see space that wasn't initially
apparent.
Jeremy Snape talks about "Balcony Boy".
Talk to your players about being able to zoom to this picture. Ask them "What would you be
speaking about on the balcony where you can see the whole picture if you were watching
yourself?"
Again, this helps to gain a perspective on any given situation.
5. Having a plan
Going through the above points will provide a fantastic foundation to build a logical plan.
Once players change the the way they view the situation, I would be surprised if they weren't
able to come up with a logical and achievable plan to deal with the situation at hand.
6. Reflection
Make sure your cricketers are asking themselves: "How will this plan pan out given the present
situation?"
Once a person has decided what options are available he can tackle the challenge with
confidence.
7. Smile
Nothing helps finalise the journey from stressful reactions to positive solutions better than a
smile.
It helps us feel better too!
One simple method is to think back to your last stressful situation and imagine yourself going
through this process.
It's clear India did this better than England at Edgbaston. How are you going to integrate
methods for dealing with pressure into your sessions?

The Dhoni-Fletcher Guide to Getting Out of a Slump

Filed in:
• Captaincy
• Coaching
• Cricket
• Psychology
Tweet
Does it sometimes feel like you are cursed to make no progess with your cricket?
Like India's post-2011 World Cup slump of Test hammerings and World Twenty20 failure you
can feel that - despite all your hard work - you have lost your ability.
You are stuck in a rut and it can feel like a disaster.

That feeling you had when you were a master of the game has gone. Your confidence is shot
which puts you into a spiral of worse play and no idea how to get out it.
And as for progress, well, you can't even tred water, let alone improve.
Slump city, population: you

But as the India team have demonstrated, occasionally you get rusty and lose your skills.
Everyone hits a slump.
Everyone questions whether this unforgiving period is a glitch or time to move on to something
else. Even Tendulkar's place has been questioned over the years as pundits decide he has 'lost
it', while up and coming players are labelled as not having enough talent.
If you take this feeling at face value you start believing that you have lost your skills (or you
never had them).
Lucky for India, the coach Duncan Fletcher and the Captain MS Dhoni are more experienced
and know how to break out of a slump.
How do you learn from this experience at the top level to bring it into your own game?
Life aint linear

Sometimes we assume that life should be simple, we progress slowly forward from junior
levels through to our natural highest level. For some that is playing for India.
In fact, cricket skills fluctuate far more than this.
Cricket is so much a game of the mind that luck, apathy and just darn good play from your
opposition can send you on a spiral of negative thoughts.
We all know that if you think something is true for long enough, you make it true; the boffins
call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
But when you know that life is not as simple as astraight line of progress you can take action to
control it.
Which is what I am sure Fletcher worked on with India.
How to beat the slump

The first step is to accept that times happen when you are not playing your best cricket.
Everyone from the 10 year old beginner to Tendulkar himself has forgettable moments.
It doesn't make you a bad player.
When you feel that form frustration, take a step back.
Start doing practice that you enjoy. That could be hitting the gym hard, or playing pick up
games. It might be taking some time off altogether (as long as it is something that helps you
relax and reset).
Being in a slump is a negative cycle, so you need to break from habits for a while.
A word of warning though; this doesn't always work first time.
India have made an attempt to break the slump after each series or tournament. It doesn't work
first time every time.
But with a strong captain like Dhoni, India will push through the fear and keep trying.
And so should you.
When you return to "normal practice" (and by that I mean mindful work that is specific to your
needs) you may get frustrated by the slowness of your gains.
Stay positive, build momentum and ride your luck when it comes (the good luck always comes
back eventully)
No slump lasts forever unless you let it.
With strong-willed characters at the helm of India, that is not going to happen.
So learn from this, give yourself a break and accept your journey sometimes has to go back
before it can go forward.

I know this cooment has nothing to do with the article but just last week we saw the
Australian's show us how not to chase a big total and I was wondering if you were in the same
situation as them what would you have done to aid your team to victory?

by Ketan Shah (not verified) | Sat, 13/10/2012 - 08:04
Practicing hard and making strategy for each player and team can be important.
Good players should be motivated and inspired. With cricket talent, physical built up,
flexibility and focus on game is important.
