Then Mark Garaway, Sam Lavery and David Hinchliffe go into specifics about bowling fast and reducing injury. Following a question, Lavers and Garas analyse the techniques of Tino Best and Keemar Roach and discuss how much you can emulate, copy and paste.
Finally there is a discussion on the power, and tyranny of thinking positive. Can just thinking about being good make you good?
Find out on the show.
How to Build Resilient Cricketers
The final piece in the mental toughness jigsaw is resilience. Players scoring high in resilience have a great ability to bounce back strongly after any disappointment. Their confidence remains bulletproof for a long period of time, which protects them from the ups and downs of self-belief.
These players have a positive attitude towards the future. Resilience high players are focused on finding solutions and taking steps forward: Dwelling on problems is not something you will see in these characters.
These players experience disappointment, but they quickly move their focus on to regaining control and taking positive action.
Play Better Cricket by Simplifying, Not Reducing
Simplicity is good, but you can over-simplify and that's a barrier to your best performance.
How to Reach Your Genetic Potential for Cricket
Is there anything more tragic than the talented player who wastes his ability?
This person plays effortlessly when everything is working, but too many days on the pitch are missed with low scores or average bowling spells. If you can sum it up in one word it's "enigmatic".
Maybe you are a person like this.
You can feel that you have talent, but you are frustrated by your inability to consistently and drain every last drop. The route to becoming a cricketer feels frustratingly just out of reach and the difference is simply tapping into your genetic potential.
Here's what you do to get the most from your talent.
