G’day legends. Welcome back or welcome to the Cricket Mentoring Podcast.
The idea of this podcast is to share the unique stories of cricketers, coaches and performance experts, with the aim of giving you; serious & committed cricketers, coaches or parents, some techniques, strategies and inspiration so you can become a better and more confident cricketer and ultimately live a better, happier life.
This episode is with someone who has a really inspiring story.
New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell is relatively new to International cricket having made his debut in 2019. At the time of this conversation Mitchell has played 4 Tests, 3 One-day internationals and 15 T20 Internationals. He already has a Test and ODI 100 and is fast becoming one of the best all-rounders in the game.
But it certainly hasn’t been an easy ride for Mitchell and as you will hear in this episode, he hasn’t always been destined for international cricket.
In this episode Darryl shared:
- What it was like growing up with a father who was an all-black and famous rugby player and coach
- How he had a little private cricket academy in Perth with Marcus Stoinis and Marcus Harris who were club teammates
- Why he left Perth and relocated back to New Zealand
- What he does away from cricket to get balance in his life
- How it took him about 5 years to learn what worked for him and how to manage playing to his strengths while trying to negate his weaknesses
- How he asked to bowl at the death and what he had to do physically, technically and tactically to be at the level required to do the job for his team
- How he prepares for a match and how it changes depending on how he feels
- Plus a whole lot more!
I have no doubt you’re going to get a lot out of this conversation!

Question: Hi Scolls
I hope you don't take this the wrong way!
In your own game, you score loads of 20's/30's in WACA Grade Cricket.
What is stopping you going on to get the bigger scores you obviously strive for?
Is it technical, tactical, mental?
I am sure you think about this!

Monday Mentoring Ep05 - Game day mindset
We got this question from one of the members of The Cricket Mentoring Community during a LIVE Q & A with Scolls.
Q: Couple of questions to you around Game-day Mindset.
1) I felt like I was in a Negative frame of mindset last Game. Maybe, I lacked the motivation compared to the other games I played this season!
Any tips/advice around how to change the story (narrative) in my mind to be more positive? or any other advice in general around, how to perform close to your best, if not best, on the days when you lack motivation before a match?
2) Any advice around how can I be more Switched ON before a Match?
Have a listen to Scolls answer in this Monday Mentoring Episode 05. To become a member of the Cricket Mentoring Community, head to www.cricketmentoring.com/community and make use of our 7-day free-trial.

This week:
Question: How do you decide if a trigger movement is the right thing for you or not? On somedays I seem to be playing well when I move back and across but on others I play better just staying still until the ball is released.

Hey Legends!
Welcome to Monday Mentoring!
Every Monday we will be sharing a question from our Cricket Mentoring Community with you.
This week:
Question: When I'm training to play short balls (with someone chucking them down from the other end), I generally play them quite well.
But when I face short balls in the nets, I tend to hesitate and move away. I'm guessing that's because I prepare myself for a short one during throwdowns, but they're a lot more unpredictable in the nets. What's a good way to solve this challenge?

G’day legends. Welcome back or welcome to the Cricket Mentoring Podcast. It’s been a while since we published an episode so it’s great to be back. Thank you for listening!
The idea of this podcast is to share the unique stories of cricketers, coaches and performance experts, with the aim of giving you; serious & committed cricketers, coaches or parents, some techniques, strategies and inspiration so you can become a better and more confident cricketer and live a better life.
This episode is with one of Australia’s best batters over the past 20 years. Shaun Marsh, or SOS as he’s known in the cricketing world made his first-class debut way back in the 2000/2001 season and as he approaches his 38th birthday, was named the domestic cricketer of the year for the second year in a row which shows he’s still got plenty of high-quality cricket ahead of him.
Only a couple of days ago, SOS passed Justin Langer as the highest ever run scorer in List A cricket as he scored his 19th List A century in WA’s victory over South Australia at the WACA. SOS has represented Australia 126 times across all formats and has scored over 5,000 international runs with 13 centuries. At his best, there aren’t many better players in the world!
SOS has been a great mate of mine for a long time so it was nice to finally sit down and hear more about his story and how he goes about his batting.
In this episode SOS shared:
- His reflections of the most recent Big Bash
- Hie earliest memories of playing cricket
- How he trained and what his teenage years looked like
- What he remembers of his Test debut where he scored a century on debut
- Scoring 140 against the incredible South African bowling attack of Steyn, Morkel & Philander
- His memories of the first ever IPL where he won player of the tournament
- And how he transformed his life on and off field
This episode, recorded in February 2021, is the first part of a longer conversation that is available for the members of the Cricket Mentoring Community. If you’re keen to hear the whole conversation with SOS where we dive into his mindset, routines, preparation, how he transitions between formats and a whole lot more, then you can join the Cricket Mentoring Community today.
