Getting Into The Zone

Cricket is a contest. A contest between the batter and the bowler. A contest between the bat and the ball. And this conversation was to try and give you an insight into how you can give yourself the best chance to win the contest, over and over again! If you can do that then, providing your technical fundamentals are sound, you’re giving yourself a pretty good chance of the ultimate goal of any cricketer...to score runs or take wickets! 

But, to win the contest you have to have your mind and thoughts in a place that allows you to let your body execute the skill that you’ve trained so much, do what it’s capable of doing.

In our last episode, we shared a few of our thoughts and ideas on game day mindset and what and how to think on game day. In today’s episode, we’re going to dive even deeper into this and discuss how to mentally ‘get into the contest’. We share some thoughts and stories from our experiences of what we think you should or shouldn’t be focusing on each and every ball to give you the best chance of ‘winning that contest. This is a really interesting topic that we’ve been spending a fair bit of time recently learning more about so I hope you enjoy it and learn something from it.
