The Shane Warne Academy at the St.Kilda Cricket Club in the 2023/2024 season was momentous as it was the first year that the club had girls' and women's teams, and the Under 18 men's team won the Inaugural Men's Under 18 competition against the Melbourne Cricket Club. A fierce rival and one we respect immensely. The Under 18 women's team was Runner Up in the Under 18 Female Future Tournament. The Under 15 Girls and Under 16 Boys demonstrated great potential and were competitive in all games. Another year under their belts... look out 2024/2025.

Hitting balls only in practice, while beneficial for honing technical batting skills, may not fully prepare a batter for performing under pressure. While technical skills are fundamental, they need to be complemented with mental, cognitive, and vision skills for a player to be well-rounded and successful in the dynamic and varied contexts of cricket.

1. Limited Adaptability: A player with excellent technical skills but lacking in cognitive and mental aspects may struggle to adapt to varying game conditions and situations.

2. Poor Decision-Making: Cricket involves quick decision-making, like choosing the right shot or ball, or making tactical field placements. Without strong cognitive skills, a player might repeatedly make poor choices, diminishing the effectiveness of their technical prowess.

3. Struggle Under Pressure: High-pressure situations are common in cricket, such as a close run chase or defending a low total. Players who have not developed mental toughness might falter in these scenarios, unable to perform to their technical potential.

4. Difficulty in Long Formats: In formats like Test cricket, mental endurance and focus are as important as technical skill. Players who haven’t developed these aspects might find it challenging to maintain concentration and consistency over prolonged periods.

5. Over-Reliance on Technique: There's a risk of becoming too mechanical or predictable. Opponents can easily strategize against a player who is technically sound but lacks the unpredictability that comes with strategic thinking and situational awareness.

6. Difficulty in Self-Improvement: Without cognitive and mental skills, players might find it hard to critically analyse their performance, learn from mistakes, and make necessary adjustments. This can hinder their growth and development as a cricketer.

7. Reduced Longevity in the Sport: Players who rely solely on technical skills might have a shorter peak period. As physical abilities decline with age, it’s often the mental and cognitive aspects that help experienced players maintain high-performance levels.

Tuesday and especially Thursdays are the nights Valley train between 6 -8 pm and the coaches are brilliant and I have never seen a better well-disciplined club in terms of facilities and training and that’s from every grade.

Peter Drinnen, Grant Mitchell, and Matt Dy Payne work relentlessly to make sure players get what they need to be better.

My role is to help players with their game. By the time they get to me they can already play and I need to make sure they understand and can choose the best options to help them play better.

I will “tweak “ something I see and pass it onto the player to see if it works for them.

I have always liked to “build something” in a club and leave it in a better place.

What is the true purpose of Coaching?

Have you ever stopped to think, "Why is customer service vital to a business? What's its true purpose?" I obsessed with this at Naked Wines until we settled on the simple answer - REPEAT BUSINESS. Once we pinpointed this, we transformed every customer interaction into an opportunity to ensure their return. Our customer service team understood their ultimate purpose and could measure their value and success, and we could shift from seeing service as a cost of business and more as an investment with return.

Now, diving into the world of Coaching and Education with SLOCOACH, I find myself asking a similar question: "What's the key reason for Coaching?" And I we've settled on a single answer - PARTICIPATION!

Hard work pays off!

I have been working with Callum Henderson over the past four years and it has been fantastic to see his hard work come to fruition with 32 competition wickets and 22 ‘2-day’ wickets in the QLD Premier Grade Competition this year. Whilst the statistics are always good indicators of performance, it is the speed, intent, and consistency of his bowling that is the most pleasing factor.

This video gives you a snippet into his journey both on and off the field. Callum has worked tirelessly at nailing the basics, following a periodised strength, speed, and conditioning program to get his body to a stage where he is able to withstand the forces going through his body at >130kph over a day’s play.

With a high training age, proficient movement patterns and hitting high numbers in some key lifts, this has allowed us to increase the specificity of his strength, power and running program to challenge his body. This has also enabled Callum to keep pushing his ceiling when it comes to what his body is capable of and the speeds that he can release the ball.

Over the past couple of years, we have been regularly experimenting with triphasic macrocycles. The triphasic principles of training aim to raise the athlete’s rate of force development which is key when working with a fast bowler. The nature of a bowling action also means that the faster and more efficiently the athlete can absorb and produce force, the faster and more effective the release can be. Whilst this has also added variety to the training program for Callum, the intent of the lifts and focus on bar speed have had an anecdotal correlation to his intent when approaching the crease.

Over the past four years, there have been clear focusses to Callum’s training with the following outcome goals in mind:

1) Increasing swing leg retraction
2) Limiting BF contact time
3) Reducing the amortisation of the front knee during FFC
4) Increasing velocity throughout the latter stages of the run up
5) Limiting GCT during the latter stages of the run up
6) Increasing bowling arm speed (Heavy and light weighted ball bowling)
7) “Attacking” the crease.
8) Creating clear pre-ball and post-ball processes

The above does not happen overnight and cannot happen without a baseline of strength, proficient movement mechanics, soft tissue resilience and joint stability.

I had a young coach ask me recently for my advice on coaching and a career in it. He really loves coaching cricket, and his aim is to follow that passion and work in the sport fulltime in the future.

We had a lengthy discussion and whilst I could certainly answer plenty of questions for him, some were quite tough, and a few queries were on issues that either I had long forgotten or possibly never thought about.

Basically, when I was a kid most of what I did revolved around sport. Our family owned a tennis centre and my dad, and his brother were fulltime tennis coaches. I played plenty of tennis on our courts after school and quickly got into cricket, Australian rules and rugby league which meant every afternoon, evening and all weekend was occupied with sport. Like lots of kids all I wanted to do was play for Australia - Davis Cup, Test cricket, VFL etc, etc - unrealistic but a pretty healthy way to grow up!
