WE CAN HELP YOU BREAK THROUGH
Confidence
Let’s be honest - it all goes back to how confident a player is within himself or herself, their measure of mental strength.
The change we are passionate about making is focusing on individual wellbeing of players for continuing success of them individually, and subsequently as a team. We do that by helping them uncover confidence which is the very mental strength itself.
A cricket game is played by a team but it is made up of
individual games and performances. When one bats one bats alone, nobody else helps holding or swinging the bat or
giving the best strategy in that moment. The same goes for bowlers, wicket keepers. Even fielders are the same as
there is only one ball flying in only one direction and has to
be fielded by one player.
Although, every player comes out for the team, with the motivation I do this for my team. This shows us that if we improve the mental strength of every individual player in the team by helping them overcome all mental factors that make them less confident, we are approaching the true success of the team.
Confidence not only can be learned, it can be coached. We utilise specific mental techniques that investigate and identify what blocks confidence in an individual. By removing these blocks in specific meditative ways, rather than trying to apply confidence on top of blocks by masking them, we won’t see their ugly heads pop up again and again.
We would like to define confidence as far as the cricket game is concerned in the following way:
• the player’s mind is quiet and not analysing the past
and fretting about the future,
• the player is only concerned with what is happening
here and now and able to keep re-focusing on the here
and now throughout the game,
• the player doesn’t feel inferior to anybody as a human, as a nationality, doesn’t identify with any painful background and past struggles, not affected by the
crowd, not affected by the presence of other players by
feeling fearful or inferior to them, or by thinking one
cannot bat as hard or bowl as fast as someone else,
• the player’s hands are not shaking excessively or their
body being excessively rigid, there is enough arousal to
do what one needs to do,
• there is motivation to do well and ability to move on
calmly if your action wasn’t as perfect as you would
have loved it to be,
• there are no active aversions and hostilities to the coaches and team players and others involved.
This is a dream scenario, and why shouldn’t we go for our
dreams?
We are confident in our techniques and experience that such confidence is possible. It is possible to discover it and train it and solidify the ability to manage it.
In fact, most champions have these abilities to a good extent naturally. But if one doesn’t yet have them developed or uncovered, one can work on developing them with the help of a mind coach.
