Welcome!
We are looking to provide an holistic program that will give players who cannot physically get to Activate regularly, access to all the elements that we think are neccessary for their development as cricketers.
The Four Components
There will be a physical component that will focus on cricket fitness (strength, agility, speed, flexibility and endurance); an emotional component (concentration, motivation and inspiration); a psychological component (discipline, organisation and developing positive attitudes); and technical component (focusing on developing and reinforcing specific skill sets for batting bowling and fielding).
Each week we will be adding demonstrations and explanations of the sort of drills and exercises we ask our athletes at Activate to do as part of their face-to face programs as well as occassional articles and videos we think support the program.
Please feel free to use the "Comments" section which accompanies each post to give us specific feedback about each post; your observations regarding the drills and exercises we are asking you to perform; and how your own game is developing.
We hope this program will be used in conjunction with occassional face to face coaching sessions for NSW country players or or even those cricketers from interstate and overseas - if you can manage a trip or two to Breakfast Point!
There is no substitute for face to face coaching, but we hope this blog will be the next best thing and will allow us to take our coaching to a wider network of players.
Come and see what we can do for you.
Ash and John
