How to Use Mental Training to Boost Your Game [1001.301.050.001]

How to Improve your Cricket by 80%

By David Hinchliffe, PitchVision Academy Director of Coaching

Imagine how much better a cricketer you would be if you could add 80% to your game permanently.

You could score runs and take wickets with a professional focus. You could even make it to the next level and turn your dreams into reality.

Experts say that 80% of cricket is mental: Perhaps more at higher levels. It's a sport played in the head. It can truly be said that developing mental toughness is just as effective as nets and skill work. Yet how are you supposed to improve your mental strength?

This course solves that problem by allowing you to tap into the power of mental training for cricket. It's the result of almost 16 years of study into what makes cricketers at all levels tick. Through my University research, interviews with sport psychologists and cricketers who have played the every level (including internationals) I found out how successful players approached their game and now I'm revealing the secrets.

I built my knowledge into a fully interactive online course that you can start working through right now to improve your cricket. You can check out the course below, once you enrol you have lifetime access (including free updates).

The course also features lifetime access to an exclusive 24/7 support forum. Here you can interact with other cricketers all over the world also trying to improve their mental toughness. Your questions will be answered any time by me or my highly experienced assistant coaches.

Practice and playing alone is no longer enough. If you are serious about improving you need to have a way of having a mental net too. This course guides you through every step of the way.
