Inspired Cricket's Coaching Ethos To use an old phrase: “Do what you’ve always done, and you will get what you’ve always got!” Inspired Cricket is designed to give you the ammunition to set-up innovative practice games and drills that will ask different questions, both physically and mentally of the players who undertake them. ENJOYABLE – if you are enjoying what you are doing, then you are more likely to do it well. In terms of sporting practice, players will want to come back and train more if they know they are going to enjoy the session, and hence they will get more benefit out of their time. PROGRESSIVE – in order to get better at anything, you must keep pushing the boundaries of what you are capable. Once you have mastered one skill, you must move onto another aspect to make sure that your ability level is always moving up in one way or another. INNOVATIVE – cricketers, just like any sportspeople will get bored if they have to do the same thing time and time again. Inspired Cricket aims to give the coach the ability to try out new drills, and then keep on adapting them so that the participants never get bored. The possibilities are endless; you just have to be willing to give things a go. CHALLENGING – sport is, at the end of the day a contest, and therefore it is vital to breed competition into your training sessions. By taking on challenges, and being competitive with the other players in games and drills, you will prepare yourself more fully for game situations. If you are used to being competitive in training, then match-situations will seem much more manageable.
