What the course covers
Section 1: The Coach
The game has changed and so has coaching. Coaching in the modern game requires coaches to reevaluate their approach, their style and their knowledge. In this module, we cover various coaching characteristics, discuss the art and science of coaching and help coaches communicate more effectively with individuals and teams. It is our ability to understand ourselves as coaches and the role we play in setting up safe, fun and positive environments which will foster a love for the game and development of players at all ages and standards.
Section 2: The Player
Players have differing needs depending on skill, personality and motivations. Understanding these nuances enables a coach to be able to connect with the player and aid him or her in development and growth of their games. Using an adapted Long Term Athlete Development model, we uncover what truly makes a player tick and how to get the best out of players at any stage of the game. The intersection of what the player feels and what the coach sees is where the gold of coaching lies, in this module we pull back the curtain on understanding the player and facilitate learning accordingly.
Section 3: The game
Batting
All coaches should have a basic understanding of batting which include the technical fundamentals, being able to help a player with a game plan to score runs and keep their wicket and be able to run effective sessions through dynamic drills to correct errors and help players batters solve challenges they are facing in the middle. This includes seam and spin, various lengths and lines and tactical know how. In this module we cover all and more you will need to improve batters at all levels.
Bowling
Coaching bowling involves a great deal of detail and repetition. In this module, we cover the philosophies of bowling coaching with some insights from some of the world’s best coaches. Whether its coaching a wrist spinner or teaching a pacer to swing the ball, a coach requires knowledge and quality processes to be able to optimise the potential of any bowler.
Fielding
The basics of fielding are often overlooked, but are critically important to the development of a player. Understanding the nuances of technique across the domains of collection, throwing and catching is a foundation of a coaches playbook. With a full drill library and training plans which can be used across ages and skill levels, this module covers all you need to know and more to make any player an asset on the field in all positions.
Wicket Keeping
The foundational skills of a wicket keeper are of paramount importance and it is not uncommon to watch professional keepers drilling the basics day after day. In this module, we deep dive into catching techniques, stumping methods and roles of a wicket keeper which are key to the teams success.
