THE FOUR PILLARS
Our four guiding pillars in our methodology: Every session touches on at least two of these. Progress is measured across all four, not just the one you are best at.
MENTAL
Resilience, composure, emotional regulation. Performing under pressure, and separating what you feel from what you decide.
TECHNICAL
The fundamentals — balance, alignment, and consistency of execution. The things that hold up when you are tired.
PHYSICAL
Fitness, strength and athleticism appropriate to your age and the role you play.
VISUAL
Awareness, anticipation and tactical understanding. Making good decisions on the field, early.
01

Into the work
Driven by your goals, facilitated by the coach.
What we do,and what do not do
Our approach takes a focus on your mental health both off and on the cricket pitch; we help introduce and reinforce the importance of mental breathing skills that have personally helped Xara push through tough, tense cricket games.
We are not qualified mental skills coaches, and we are not a mental health service. If a player needs that kind of support, we will help their family find someone who is qualified.
