Welcome to this episode of The Cricket Mentoring Podcast. After a 3 month break I’m pumped to be back and hopefully bigger and better than ever before. I really want to make this podcast as interesting and valuable for you as it can be!
This episode, which was recorded a few months ago while I was in the UK, is with one of the England cricket teams sports psychologists, Mike Rotheram.
Mike, who is a cricketer himself, started working with the England men’s team and England Lions and is now working closely with the England women.
With 9 years of studying under his belt, Mike is extremely qualified to teach the mental skills required to perform at the highest level.
In this episode we discussed:
How he became a sports psychologist after not being good enough to make it as a player
- How he did a PHD in the Yips and what causes the yips
- What a sports psychologist does
- What the traits are of elite athletes
- How he coaches players who over analyse or overthink things
- How the coaches set up sessions to test and train their players under pressure
- The difference between people who are driven by consequences and those that are driven by rewards and how to work out who needs what.
Plus a whole lot more.
This is an awesome insight into how some of the world’s best players train and work on their mental skills. If you’re interested in getting the most out of yourself and trying the techniques that aren’t really talked about on a regular basis then this is a great episode that you will get a lot of value from, so lets get into it.
