    Ep 12 - Why Staying Safe Keeps You Stuck Scoring 20's and 30's

    Free 24/7 Batting Mindset CoachMost cricketers don’t get out because of a technical flaw - they get stuck in their comfort zone. You know the feeling: you’re 20 not out, start playing safe and before long you’re walking back, frustrated.In this podcast, I share how the comfort zone quietly kills your batting and how to finally break free. I’ll show you why your creative subconscious mind locks you into the identity of a “20-run player” and how to shift that identity so your game expands.I’ll also share my own story of being labelled “a fielder who could bat a bit” and how I rewired that belief when I first discovered how the mind really works. That change didn’t just transform my cricket, it reshaped my identity as a player.You’ll walk away with a 4-step plan to:1. Spot when you’re in the comfort zone2. Choose your personal “stretch zone”3. Rest and reflect after matches 4. Expand your comfort zone until scoring freely feels normalWhether you’re stuck making starts or chasing consistency, this is how to grow.

    Ep 11 - Cricket Mindset Myth Busted: Do Affirmations Really Work?

    The 24/7 Batting Mindset CoachMost cricketers have been told to use affirmations… “Just tell yourself you’re confident. Tell yourself you’re a run-scorer.

That’s why I’ve made this video - to bust the myth and show you how affirmations can actually build real confidence when you understand how the mind works.In this video, I reveal:• Why affirmations often fail cricketers under pressure• The three parts of your mind (conscious, subconscious and creative subconscious) and how they shape belief• How to rewire confidence using curiosity questions, stretch affirmations and identity statements• The exact affirmation that changed my game when scoring a hundred felt impossibleYou’ll also see how players like David Warner, Pujara and Ben Stokes back up their self-talk with rock-solid identity - plus how you can apply the same system in your own cricket.
